The cruellest wait
The Conservatives are planning to "get tough with the bail system". But shadow justice minister Nick Herbert's view that bail is too easily granted is contradicted by the shocking fact that each year in England and Wales many thousands of innocent people are remanded in prison. Thousands more are held for offences too minor for a jail term.
UPDATE: I wonder if Nick Herbert is any good at tossing a caber? I reckon he is a good tosser...
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
another cheap, populist policy. When will politicians have the stones to lead the criminal justice debate, rather than follow daily mail editorials? by their cowardice they diminish the whole body politic.
