I think some are this fella's obviously a limp wrister. I heard earlier R4 I think that 75% are getting remanded in custody for referral as you say to Crown Court which I suppose is encouraging. As posted before a lot are charged with burglary - a shame there's not some old offence of something like rioting and sedition on the statute books with a minimum of 12 years or transportation to some hell hole
