:furious: I don't normally get involved with this kind of stuff but I am incensed at the events of this week. It concerns Australians as much as us here in the UK and I am using this medium to inform (and warn) our Australian friends of an event which shows the British Judiciary in a a disgraceful light. Hopefully some of you can raise a stink about it over there 'cos it just ain't right.
Brits will remember little Jamie Bulger who, in 1993 was abducted from his mother during a shopping trip by two 10 year olds Jon Venables and Robert Thompson. I will spare you the details of what they did to this poor lad but in the end, they placed his tortured body across railway tracks so that a train would hit him and thus cover up their crime (so they thought). This proved that they undoubtedly knew exactly what they were doing. Jamie was such a mess that Jamie's mother was forbidden to ID him.
This week Lady Justice Butler-Sloss has awarded the two boys ( now men ), anonymity for the rest of their lives when they leave custody with new identities. They will also leave custody early only serving just over half of their sentence. They are being relocated to Australia to live out the rest of their lives. They disgustingly and violently took Jamie's life away and in return they each get a new life in Oz presumably with a grant from the public purse.
WTF are things coming too? I hope our Australian friends can help put a stop to this. You certainly don't need these people amongst you....but, they may already be there..... :sad:
Sorry for this post but enough is enough...
