Reform UK Party Limited Company

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Alan, Farage aside, you appear to be under the impression that the UK judicial system is totally free from any sentancing disparity. I o. the other hand believe there are some massive sentencing disparities. Happy to PM you some examples if you wish.

Each case is different and the judges have the guidance to guide them to where they believe the offence to be.

Lobbing a milkshake at a member of the public is not the same as threatening the police whilst in a mob. (See the difference between assault and affray)

This is a case of assault, and if everyone who committed assault was jailed we'd need another Strangeways.

Farage aside?

Farage aside?

Take it to the riot thread if you want. This is about reform and I can’t be arsed to have the same debate again that goes nowhere.

I agree, I'm not particularly saying she should have been jailed. I'm saying that this case when compared to other sentences in recent times highlights some of the sentancing disparities in our judicial system. Alan and others use the sentancing guidelines to excuse/explain these disparities. Sentancing disparities in our judicial system are a well known issue and past governments have had reports done on them.

But a true comparison would be if someone threw a milkshake at Starmer, Badenoch, or even an ordinary citizen. If that person was jailed, you could say they had been treated harshly.

Comparing it to sentences for rioting, arson or throwing bricks at police is obtuse. It's like comparing a sentence for stealing a pack of bacon to those given to the Great Train Robbers.

Games Workshop contributes more to GDP than the entire British fishing industry.

We might as well worry about the state of the traction engine construction industry. I can't understand the romantic obsession with fishing. Like moaning about the fact that the tea clippers aren't around anymore.

The only one I can equate it to is the Corbyn one which to me seems like a consistent application of the guidelines.
