The remarks recently by a senior judge, that "burglary requires considerable bravery" as he let a burglar off in his court, shows just how out of touch the judiciary has become in the UK. Calling a common thief "brave" is an insult to the armed services, fire fighters, police and people like the volunteers who man the RNLI's lifeboats. A burglar is a self-serving thief. They are not motivated by feelings of self-sacrifice, service or duty. Their motivation is purely their own profit. Bravery doesn't enter into it.
Since this is now before the Judicial Complaints commissioners, one can hope that they will remove this idiot from office. Sadly, I rather think they will do their usual back-flips, headstands and contortions to keep him in office and present his statement as having been "misrepresented" or "taken out of context."
The truth is that as long as this sort of mindset is allowed to preside over our courts "justice" will not be served. It will not be seen to be done, nor will the punishment fit the crimes. To those who say "justice" must be about "reforming" or "helping" the criminal I say this. You have never had your hard earned property stolen by some lazy scumbag. You have never had your home violated and your hardearned possessions stolen. You have never been threatened and beaten in your home when you disturbed some common thief helping himself to your possessions.
No, you live in high value homes, in well protected properties remote from the realities of the criminals you support and defend.
This judge and any others like him should be removed immediately from his post and the "guidelines" issued by the Department of Justice should be torn up. Burglars should be jailed. Thieves should be jailed. The defence that someone was "desperate" for his next drug fix and this drove him to commit the crime should be rammed down the lawyers throat - and the lawyer arguing it put in jail alongside his junkie client.
Justice is not served by these morons. Justice is NOT being done by such men and women. It is time it was changed.

Yes, but how? It is these type of men and women who actually make the laws, the politicians, many of whom were in the legal profession. Look at how the last government bent over backwards to enrich their own profession! Look at the type of men and women they appointed to enforce their laws! It wasn't just Sir Humphrey who should be behind bars (or in front of a firing squad!), the judiciary have been getting away with a hell of a lot of activism, seemingly without much challenge. Yes, this particular muppet (Lord Kermit of Wankville) said a very stupid and worrying thing, but what about the ridiculous decisions that have been taken under the Human Remains Act? They bend over backwards to allow undesirable aliens to remain in this country, yet hardly a peep from the MSM, other than a few headlines. Yes, we are indeed living in a post-democratic age, and if things don't improve, then we will have to resort to taking appropriate action. We've got the lamp posts, we've got the piano wire...
