PC Andrew Harper's

I would’ve found the driver guilty of murder but difficult to pin that on the passengers
 
The Sentencing Act 2026 is Labour's work. They haven't done the proper analysis to work out if the proposals lead to the wrong people being let out or unfair punishment for the financially better off. It’s a bit of a mess, like most of the legislation they have come up with.
Higher fines for the rich was Ken Clark’s idea iiirc. All governments need to balance retribution public protection and prison conditions. Even the fantasy football league coalition of Rupe and Nige.
 
Whatever does he think the definition of trolling is?

Am I trolling?

I don't think so.

Is he trolling?

If he isn't, he needs not worry about being called out for it.

If he is trolling, he should be called out for it.

Is being called a troll an insult? I don't think so, certainly when compared with the insults that are often thrown around here.

Like these words typed by Highway Man.

"Idiot"
"Brain dead"
"Stupid entitled cow"

But when he claims he's been insulted by being called a troll, he gets the hump, big time!
Give it a rest will you. Rule 1a, `Rule 1c.

What this government hasn’t done is test their policy by analysing the impact. It’s the sort of thing AIs are good at.

Who is eligible, review the sentencing remarks. Look for particular comments about victim impact, remorse etc. flag those that need to be reviewed.
 
If I and you go to steel a car and somebody tries to stop us. If I am driving and I look like I am going to risk killing him and you say…

A) get him
B) nothing
C) stop

Does that change the situation?

if they shared a common criminal intent to commit the robbery and foresaw, or intended, that grievous bodily harm or lethal force might be used.

The outrage about PC Harper was understandable, and I share it, but there are several hundred other manslaughter prisoners that the press aren’t worried about because the story isn’t triggering enough. I’m all for more nuanced sentencing but press interest and AI is a recipe for unfairness.

I think the problem was the jury believed that they weren’t aware he was being dragged. And they weren’t going to incriminate each other either either a b or c. The driver took the rap to save the others. It didn’t work

Did you think about all the other injustices in the world when supporting bent knees and George Floyd?
