Judge says blame the Government for rioters sentences

[Englishman2010]

Whilst there's little doubt about the guilt of the scum up before the courts, we can't have Kangaroo courts convicting people and the public dishing out its own form of retribution. The Magna Carta states that no man shall be denied the right to justice. This is an ancient law that helped England and later Britain become the example of a fair legal system that has been exported around the world. It's a shame that Eurobeaks and Civil Liberties dogooders have diluted the great English legal system

PRECISELY, Ian ... my main criticism of successive British governments would be that they've "caved~in" (pun used in relation to the surname of the offender you've mentioned in #1!) for far too long to the dictates of the Eurocrats.
