Ian Huntley

[scawsby steve]

I reckon someone has done us all a massive favour and looked the other way.

[Nudga]

I hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.










And then someone smashes the Kitson in again to within an inch of his life.

[IDM]

I’m surprised it’s taken this long.

Whilst I wouldn’t encourage such violence, I can understand it.

[mugnapper]

I just hope the metal pole didn't get damaged in the attack.

I hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.










And then someone smashes the Kitson in again to within an inch of his life.

And again, and again, and again...

[Prez]

Confirmed the scumbag is dead. Good start to the day.

[scawsby steve]

Justice has finally been done.

[drfchound]

I reckon that the bloke who did the damage will be a hero in that nick.

[ChrisBx]

I reckon that the bloke who did the damage will be a hero in that nick.

He's no better.

[BobG]

Vigilantism on the march....

[SydneyRover]

And what happens when an innocent person is jailed, that never happens aye?

Rules based order or ..........

I’m not condoning it, just saying what might be.
They are some of the most dangerous prisoners in the UK in there so who knows what their mindsets might be.

[drfchound]

Just for interest, Huntley admitted to the murders in this case and to the burning of the bodies of those two young innocent girls.

[scawsby steve]

Vigilanteism on the march....

Well done, Bob. If you want to show empathy and compassion to scumbags who murder innocent little children, then dip your bread. Me, I'm just glad that the taxpayer no longer has to fund 3 meals a day for the worthless b*st*rd.

My only regret is that I wasn't able to do the job myself.

Just as an addendum, vigilanteism happens when your law and order system is crap, and people don't feel protected.

[BobG]

Thanks Steve. I thought a bit of rules based thinking would get your full support. Thanks again

And more ...

''This article examines the abolition of corporal punishment in British state schools as a case study in the impact of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) on campaigning for law reform and social change. In a case supported by the National Council for Civil Liberties and the anti-corporal punishment organisation STOPP, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the administration of corporal punishment in Scottish schools did not respect parents’ rights to ensure that their children were educated in a way that reflected their values. The decision, and the Thatcher government’s attempts at minimal compliance with it, fractured support for corporal punishment among teachers’ unions and re-framed the contest between activist groups and the state. The article sets corporal punishment in the context of contests over progressive education and conceptions of childhood in the wake of the ‘permissive society’, and uses the case of Campbell and Cosans v United Kingdom to show how the use of litigation in international courts changed the dynamics of domestic contests. The imperative to remain a member of the Council of Europe overrode the Thatcher government’s ideological, and affective, investments in traditional discipline.

No problem, Bob. My mate was a prison warden for 20 years at Wakefield, where all the human scum of the world are kept, and they had a lot of rules based thinking when it came to nonces; they looked the other way.

That's when real justice happens, not 3 meals a day, pool tables, and wide screen TV.

Good to see who’s side you are on Syd.
Don’t forget that Huntley admitted the murders, no doubting that he was guilty.

[tommy toes]

You might want to read the link before jumping in hound.
Huntley’s guilt is not what it’s about.

Hi Tommy, I know how SydneyRover operates.

[Sprotyrover]

We have come on in leaps and bounds since the cane was banned! Not!

[scawsby steve]

OK, guys, I'm obviously to the right on capital punishment, but not so on corporal punishment, the reason being that I was physically abused as a child by my dad and certain teachers.

If someone is bad tempered and aggressive by nature, the last thing they should be given is the legal right to hurt children.

[SydneyRover]

You're also the only right wing socialist I know of scawsby.

[scawsby steve]

You're also the only right wing socialist I know of scawsby.

What's that got to do with capital punishment or corporal punishment?

Stop being stupid.

Stop being stupid.

Your position on the political spectrum ... if you look at the links provided, there is evidence there that supports a view that it is the right wing of everything that supports capital and corporal punishment. Look at the countries, politics, religion, that's where support for it lies, not usually on the left, wouldn't you agree?

[tommy toes]

When I was at PJGS, Mr Brookes the French teacher, whacked me from behind on the back of my head so hard that it knocked me off my chair and I banged my head on the floor.
I was seeing stars afterwards.
Not a thing was said about it.
Me dad told me to behave mi sen.

Timothy Evans confessed too.

And what happens when an innocent person is jailed, that never happens aye?

Just for interest, Huntley admitted to the murders in this case and to the burning of the bodies of those two young innocent girls.

Timothy Evans confessed too.

So he did Glyn

During his trial, Evans accused his downstairs neighbour, John Christie, who was the chief prosecution witness in the case against him, of committing the murders.

Three years after Evans's execution, Christie was found to be a serial killer who had murdered several other women in the same house, including his own wife Ethel. Christie was himself sentenced to death, and while awaiting execution, he confessed to having murdered Mrs. Evans. An official inquiry concluded in 1966 that Christie had murdered Evans's daughter Geraldine, and Evans was granted a posthumous pardon. The High Court dismissed proceedings to officially quash Evans's murder conviction in 2004 on the grounds of the cost and resources that would be involved, but acknowledged that Evans did not murder his wife or his daughter, 54 years after his wrongful execution. ...

...''Had the police conducted a thorough search of the garden and found the bones of two previous victims of Christie, the trial of Evans might not have occurred at all''

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Evans#Trial_and_execution

''The television journalist Ludovic Kennedy's book Ten Rillington Place criticised the police investigation and evidence submitted at the 1950 trial in which Evans was found guilty. This produced another Parliamentary debate in 1961 but still no second inquiry''
