25-year-old Victoria Thomas-Bowen has been given a suspended prison sentence today for assault by beating, for throwing a milkshake over Nigel Farage in Clacton.

Farage has claimed her being spared jail is "two-tier justice". It's not, as I'd like to highlight in a small 🧵

@mrianleslie @Samfr I came here for an answer to this question...

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

Politicians whose only contributions to the criminal justice system are to defund it and then to call for the deaths of the people convicted within, are not the sort of people with your best interests at heart.

“Whenever I’m about to do something, I think ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if they would, I do not do that thing.” – Dwight Schrute

And what is the best way to spot an idiot? Look for the person who is cruel.

Just a thought...
Should MPs check facts before tweeting polls which inevitably provoke public negativity?

[Dawn Butler ✊🏾💙 @DawnButlerBrent]

Just a thought...

Should all police officers in the UK have their DNA on the police database?

I am very interested in opinions on this, so please forward it to others.

Idiotic line by Labour.

Sunak and his party have devastated the criminal justice system through gleeful defunding of its constituent parts, causing record backlogs and delays of years.

But he is not responsible for sentences imposed in a relatively small number of cases.

Big shout out to @PayGapApp - spending this International Womens Day simply pointing out how much all the organisations & businesses Tweeting about IWD actually pay their women

There is no such thing as “stretching the boundaries” of the law. Either you act within the law, or you don’t.

16-year-old Rishmeet Singh was chased & stabbed to death in west London in 2021.

He was stabbed 15 times after he tripped & fell.

An innocent victim in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Today, two teenagers - 17 at the time - were found guilty of murder.

Why no coverage?
