@andyburnham What an utterly embarrassing post, we do understand why it’s costing so much, what we don’t get is why you’re not doing what’s within your powers, try reducing fuel duty and VAT which you’re making a killing on
On this day in 1991, the late Trevor Francis (aged 37) brought himself off the bench at Hillsborough to score a last minute winner against Nottingham Forest.
Ah, the 90s - peak of the player/manager.
What days they were.
I have been sickened all day by the news of three boys who lured two schoolgirls, raped them, and filmed it on their phones while they laughed and egged each other on. When they finally stood before a judge this week, they were handed “rehabilitation orders” and walked out without serving a single day behind bars. Not in prison, not in custody or a young offender institution.
The judge said, “None of you need to go to prison”.
What message does that send to rapists? The crime could hardly be graver, yet the punishment was no punishment at all. It’s the collapse of consequences and the rot runs right through the justice system.
And this is only going to get worse because Labour are choosing to go soft on criminals:
❌ They have abolished short prison sentences.
❌ They have let tens of thousands of criminals out early.
❌ And now they want to raise the age of criminal responsibility, so that even MORE young offenders escape any consequence at all.
My position is common sense👇
PRISON WORKS.
✅It punishes those who do wrong, it keeps dangerous people off our streets and away from our children.
✅It tells every victim that the law is on their side.
A country that forgets this is a country where schoolgirls are raped and filmed for sport, and the boys who did it get to go home.
Conservatives stand against it and our policies on sentencing and prison are the ones that will deliver a stronger country.
These are the Wednesday fans and stakeholders taking on the Class of 2016 at Hillsborough this afternoon.
Westwood wants a 15-0. Hutchinson says one of them is ‘getting it’ early doors.
A tingle of nervousness in the air! 😜
