The Punishment must fit the Crime

The government have announced there will be major cuts in legal aid…which has resulted in a mini “strike” by solicitors….they say it will reduce their clientele…thus losing money. I think these guys should compare their hourly rate to that of a council worker or shop assistant…..how will they survive without their brand new BMs and Mercedes every year?...I feel so sorry for them.

A pal of mine went on jury duty and said it was a farce…nobody on the panel,including the chairman,had a clue about the law…they were judging people by how they looked. I’ve never been able to grasp the jury system…they should consist of intelligent educated people with a good knowledge of the law…SOLICITORS FOR EXAMPLE…there you are I’ve found jobs for them.

There is a big thing at the moment regarding cyber bullying….youngsters are getting threatened on twitter etc….now I know I am from the 50’s but isn’t the answer to not read the tweets?...or is that too simple. It strikes me that anyone who makes threats on the social media is an idiot who needs to get a life…so why bother with them?...or am I too old to understand?

Immigration…now there’s a word…all we hear on the news is people complaining about so called foreigners coming into the country and getting a free ride….personally I am totally confused…one minute they are telling us that immigrants can come here and get benefit for 3 months until they get a job (sounds like a good deal) BUT then we are told that they should have a job lined up before they get here…perhaps someone will eventually tell us what is going on…because I haven’t got a clue.

It’s that old humbug again on the news about over enthusiastic parents at school sports events……it’s NEVER going to change…parents want to live through their kids (at least the dopey ones do)…in my opinion sport is for winning…that’s why it’s there….and you’ll always get morons on the touchline…it will never change….so move on eh?
