The award winning drama ‘ Common ‘ by Jimmy McGovern is on BBC4 now. It shows the injustice of #JointEnterprise please watch the end and hear some of the @JENGbA family’s cases. This is the biggest miscarriage of justice scandal in this country today.
@SkyNews why is there only the spotlight on child sexual exploitation?
What about our children being criminally exploited??
Where is their review and outrage?
Last night, we held our first evidence session of the Westminster Commission on Joint Enterprise.
From those with lived experience to academics to CPS representatives, our panel of witnesses agreed on the urgent need for greater clarity on definitions of joint enterprise law.
Director of Public Prosecutions, Stephen Parkinson, told the House of Commons Justice Committee yesterday that the CPS “alert to” issue of “people... more on the periphery” of joint enterprise prosecutions and “whether they should... be in the system at all”
"The Plight B4 Christmas" by SJC
Reworking of a traditional #Christmas poem, focussing on #CountyLines, #ModernSlavery, and (Child) Criminal Exploitation (#CCE).
Many families will not have the Christmas they want, worrying about #missing children, who are Out There "working"...
@RaySmit09853147@JENGbA And about time too. Our families voices matter more than ever before. The culture of injustice has been hidden & brushed aside for too long. We can’t all be wrong in what we say. And we will continue to speak out until those that can do!
The Director of Public Prosecutions recognises that Joint Enterprise is racist and wrong. Let us make sure the wrongful use of the law identified by the Supreme Court back in 2016 ends. @JENGbA@Jliffe
@NickFerrariLBC great to hear #jointenterprise being raised on your show - archaic doctrine that acts as a dragnet capturing large numbers of youngsters and putting them behind bars for longer than they have been alive .. 16 year old gets 21 years 🤦♀️ @JENGbA@Jliffe
@CarolineFlint great to see you on GMB talking about countylines and linking this to child abuse which as the mother of a victim was refreshing as social care, the police and the CPS continue to say he had a “choice”
“Britain jails too many minor offenders, many of whom have mental health and drug-related problems made worse by incarceration. This is one reason why recidivism is so high – the system incubates and entrenches criminality more than it reforms criminals.”
@jessphillips I’m coming from nothing & nowhere & I want to get this done too. So if anyone is generous enough to contribute to my campaign fund it would be very much appreciated. https://t.co/14BO1jCwgP #Independent#socialists need a place in Westminster
The campaign has launched in Maltby! 🚀 🌹
Thank you to everyone who joined us to make the case for change.
On 4th July we can vote for that change. Vote Labour. 🌹
Parliament being dissolved means no legislative changes taking place to reduce the demand on prison places.
Parliament has failed.
As politicians leave to campaign and make new promises to retain or win seats post 4/7/24, Prisons will be closing their gates.
Shame on them.
