Shameful lapse

Gordon Bennett! You have to be really desperate for a big filler article for your newspaper column if you have to take up smoking ciggies after a gap of 5 years to have something to write about.

More ineffectiveness

Maybe judges, as well as HMRC, need to be replaced by an A.I system. Then we might get sentences issued to criminals on a more reliable basis, eliminating appeals that get them bumped up a bit and shove more cash into the maws of the legal trade.

Money-go-round

Labour’s law on abusive attempts to change sexuality or gender identity could bung £800 million into the economy over a decade by making transpicaters less depressed. Or it will cost businesses £100 million over the decade.
    Both guesses are based on the same data. The big positive guess, natch, comes from a ‘consultation’ run by the transpicater lobby.

Soft in the head ‘justice’

A gang-banger with a collection of nasty knives was given a gaol sentence of 48 weeks, which had to be suspended as it was below the current Labour threshold of 12 months for actually doing time inside. So he got away with it.
    Another triumph for Labour’s Empty Gaols campaign.

A real sorry crew

Also as here, the US has senators who have non-American values. Like the guy who’s a big fan of the Hamas. And there are Demos who want to defund the police and abolish prisons, or are transpicaters, fans of gaoled terrorists, opponents of border and migrant checks, advocates of universal free housing and nationalized grocery stores, and similars.
    Really, really Toxic R Us characters.

That’s Why

The reason for the EFU ban on bacon-flavour crisps has been revealed. It’s so that Little John of the Daily Disaster can go into a pub without being assaulted by products with a smell that he finds revolting.

Daft & Irresponsible

A sound reason for not letting our prime fantasist throw lotz of our cash at regional mayors is the lack of a guarantee that it will be spend wisely or even locally. In devolved Wales, they’re throwing cash intended for the people there at all sorts of projects in Africa and being allowed to get away with it.
    The Deadleg in Wherever is simply not to be trusted.
