My opinion is he is a filthy person who should never ever see the sun again.

But that's me.

Personally I think in cases like this life should mean life...

But what is also worrying is politicians getting involved in the judiciary process in order to 'look tough'!

He should have been exterminated at the time

You also get the judiciary meddling in politics, equally galling.

How so?

They follow the law as given to them by parliament...

Just because you may not like the fact that rulings are based on law not your political views is not 'meddling'...

Or would you prefer a system such as in the US where large sections of the judiciary are politically appointed?

Those in the judiciary have a vote though, so are entitled (in a personal capacity), to have their say.
Politicians in legal matters though? A personal opinion yes, but no meddling.

Judges are just humans like the rest of us. I’d rather see politicians getting stuck in to legal matters than judges dabbling in politics.

When the former gets it wrong we vote them out.

In this instance nobody is meddling. Justice secretary is rightfully allowed to intervene as the Parole board's powers are recommender.

If the justice secretary is representing me then I want him or her to put their paddle in.
