John Reid’s brain is missing…
January 25, 2007
Hmm, I had wondered. Big promises, poor results. Check out The Sun’s full article HERE .
In particular though, I like that Police Federation chairman Jan Berry said:
“The criminal justice system is failing the victims of crime, future victims of crime and the police service.
“It is essential sentences are appropriate and not a result of other factors such as the chronic shortage of prison places.
“It makes a mockery of a criminal justice system where sentences are rarely completed in the first place anyway.
“The safety of the public is paramount. If we’re kicking people out earlier, then that is ludicrous and hugely demoralising for police officers.”
I couldn’t have said it better myself. So, while everyone else berates John Reid let this message be a nod of approval to our Jan.
Ta like.
