ONE FLEW OUT OF THE COO-COOS NEST?  MUGGERS LESS THREAT THEN LITTER LOUTS?

Sure litter is serious.  But what fool would suggest they are a greater threat then muggers?
How about a judge?
How about a commie judge?
Bingo.

The ex-communist tutor
Lord Justice Sedley is widely regarded as one of the most Left-wing of judges.
His Who’s Who entries, under recreations, have included ‘changing the world’.
The 69-year-old is a strong supporter of human rights, and spent his 28 years at the Bar working principally in the fields of civil liberties and discrimination law.
When he was appointed a High Court judge in September 1992 it was seen as a clear signal that politics should be no bar to promotion within the judiciary.
He has publicly questioned the supremacy of Parliament, suggesting it is gradually being replaced by a dual sovereignty, whereby government ministers are accountable politically to Parliament but also legally to the courts - and by implication to judges such as himself.
In the 1970s he was a tutor at the Communist University of London, a summer school organised by the Communist Party, which at its height boasted more than 1,000 students.

This jerk even looks like a goof ball but in fact he really isn’t stupid.  And there’s the danger Brits have faced for a long time.  Why they (Brits) have been so tolerant of folks like this and for so long, is quite beyond my understanding.

Be tougher on litter louts than muggers, says judge

By James Slack and Matthew Hickley

Lord Justice Sedley proposes a £600 fine for litterers - more than double the average fine for assault.

Magistrates have been told to hammer litterers with big fines because environmental crimes are ‘arguably the gravest of all problems’ facing Britain.
Guidelines endorsed by a leading judge say courts should take a role ‘equal to Greenpeace’ in saving the environment and fighting against pollution and waste.

They propose a fine of £600 for an offence such as not taking home rubbish created by a party at a village hall - more than double the average fine for assault - while dog foulers should be hit with £150 fines, according to the Magistrates’ Association document.

Such heavy fines for ‘environmental crimes’ compare with relatively modest court penalties for many serious criminals which see sex offenders whose crimes are deemed suitable to be punished by a fine pay an average of £285, along with £237 for violent offenders and £286 for fraudsters.

The handbook, written for JPs across the country, states ‘there has been some concern that the levels of fines and sentences given in environmental cases are not high enough’.

Observers said the guidelines showed how out of touch the courts have become with ordinary people’s values, and contrasted the ‘coercive’ approach of using harsh fines for littering with the ‘leniency’ routinely showed towards muggers and shoplifters.

In the foreword to the manual, Lord Justice Sedley writes: ‘The despoliation of the environment is arguably the gravest of all the problems we are going to hand on to our children and grandchildren.
‘All criminal justice is complicated. There are at least two sides to every story, and sentencers have to be alive to them all.’

HERE FOR THE REST

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
