Jack Straw's two-tier justice

Jack Straw's two-tier justice

While General Pinochet was let out, Ronnie Biggs and Liverpool football supporter Michael Shields remain unfairly imprisoned

Eric Allison

It becomes clearer by the day that justice minister Jack Straw, who allowed mass murderer Pinochet to escape the consequences of his actions, is not prepared to show the same degree of mercy to working-class people. So if any of his constituents in working-class Blackburn fall foul of the law, they should not look to their MP for compassion, or justice for that matter.

I can see where this argument is going. Whilst visiting my parents in Dagenham my muvver referred to the Ronnie Biggs case" She says "Yeah, but..... and then when I let rip with all the inconsistencies of Jack Bleedin' Straws' political agenda for offenders she starts to "Yeh, but, hmmm, you know Yes, I can see your argument but...."

Older people cannot see through the feckin' lies this two-faced bicycle-eyed bloke and his government post. Lets not forget that they employ PROFESSIONAL LIARS to work their spin. Old people (God rest their souls) can't see through the shite that this government play on them.

These b'stards rely on the sympathy of those poor old fuckers who know no better than what they learned from the war years. Thats where they get there vote from. Unfortunately they listen to voices in ""power" as if they are the be all and do all of the universe. Fuckem, I say, and all whit sail in them.

It seems to be Ron that the goverment can rob the british public and thats OK ....But a member of the british public robs the goverment and thats a different story. A paedophile was released a week ago saying I will kill a child and thats OK also.

Here in Spain a member of the goverment is caught skimming he goes to prison for a very very long time and all his riches are removed. Maybe Zapatero would make a good EU president rather than the BLiar of Brtain who will help those in power to keep on robbing from the poor to line their pockets.
