"An MP said a decision to allow a burglar to sue Norwich Prison because he is unhappy at the way wardens dealt with his drug addiction “made a mockery” of the system".
“I think it is disgraceful that they sue; it is public money,” said Mr Bellingham.
Personally, I think it is disgraceful when MPs fiddle their expenses, after all, it is public money!
"Henry Bellingham claimed £1,500 mortgage interest per month for a flat in London. Mr Bellingham claimed a total of £85,845 in four years under the addional costs allowance".
From snouts in the trough to another breed of pig...
Any move to prevent convicts using public money to sue and then receive public money as compensation would be backed by Norfolk’s Police Federation.
General secretary, Dave Benfield, said the federation found the current situation “ironic”.
“Those who use the law of the land in an attempt to gain compensation are the very people who have broken the law in the first place, often on a number of occasions,” he said.
“The public and the federation are united in taking the view that any individual who is in jail relinquishes some rights – including the right to vote.”
I fell a legal challenge coming on...
