Cameron’s Asylum – Rioters Released Before Serving EVEN HALF Their Sentences!

London Burning

• Around one in five rioters jailed after last year’s summer rampages have been tagged and let out of prison early, it has emerged. Figures released under the Freedom of Information Act show nearly 243 convicts were released under the home detention curfew before serving half their jail sentence, according to the Daily Mail. Press Association, 18/8

And here was me all set to have a go at remissions approved by the Indonesian Government. The sleazy corrupt Gayus getting a chunk off his time, rumours that convicted terrorists too are being given a break for Ramadan, which ends tomorrow,  and Independence Day, which was yesterday.

But what’s the point in my cavilling at Indonesia, if the scum who preyed on Brits less than a year ago are going free without even doing half the time they were meant to?

• Cameron cannot wash his hands of this, saying ‘it’s the rules, you see…’

He’s the PM!

He knew all about the rules.

So did the judges who handed down the sentences. They all had a duty to see to it that the sentences were sufficiently long to ensure that, even with maximum allowance for ‘good behaviour’ or whatever other pathetic excuse might be trotted out of the rule-book, they’d do serious time!

Here are some reactions, reported by the Daily Mail.

Criminologist Dr David Green, director of the Civitas think-tank, said the release sent the wrong message to rioters. ‘These people are serious violent criminals and they should never be released early from their sentence.  They should serve their punishment – the punishment that fitted the crime at the time of sentencing.For a while the authorities sent a strong message about the rioting that they were not going to tolerate that kind of thing, but this contradicts that. It makes it more likely we will see a repetition.’

Amarjit Singh Klair, who led a group of Sikh men who defended their communities in Southall, West London, said: ‘It seems like a lot of those sentences are quite light. What kind of justice is it if they are out even before a year?’

Quite right, Mr. Green and Mr. Singh! But what comes oozing out of the woodwork but a load of tripe!

David Lammy

This week Labour MP for Tottenham David Lammy said sentences given to rioters had been too long. He said that there ‘is a sense that we punish the poorest the hardest’. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2190087/One-jailed-rioters-freed-serving-half-sentence-likely-repeat-offenders.html#ixzz23udOzHtm

My initial reaction to this man Lammy was that he is either bad or brainless.

But some research shows he isn’t a fool.

He talked sense earlier this year, when he said that working-class parents need to be able to discipline their children physically to deter them from joining gangs and getting involved in knife crime. Calling for a return to the Victorian laws on discipline, Mr Lammy said parents were ‘no longer sovereign in their own homes’ and lived under constant fear that social workers would take away their children if they chastised them.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2093223/Labour-MP-David-Lammy-Smacking-ban-led-riots.html#ixzz23uiIU5RC

But for all his reasonable stance then, he’s plain wrong now. How does he know the thugs were rich or poor, for a start?

Riot and robbery are not a question of social status. They merit the sternest condemnation, not Lammy’s lame lamentations.

Britannia dolorosa.

Once a land of hope and glory, now a country whose establishment appears to be afflicted with insanity, sending a clear message to the worst elements in society that they may rampage with virtual impunity.
