Do you have complete confidence in the British Justice system?

With a very heavy heart I have to say no. How can you have confidence in a system that sends a 70 years old women to jail for not paying her council tax, then a drunk driver in a stolen car with no insurance is given community service. The Blair government has destroyed the moral high ground of the system. Blair has put his cronies in the highest positions in the system. He has allowed sleaze and corruption to flourish in government with no-one being made to pay the price. What justice that when a single mother with a couple of kids on basic benefit is given a fine for no TV licence. No more tv and the food out of the kids mouth while she pays the fine, Justice forget it in the UK unless you have the protection of Blair and his cronies.

No definately not. The criminals receive more help these days compared to the victims of crime! Sentencing for paedophiles and rapists are far too lenient and many of the prisons these murderers and criminals are in are more like luxury holiday camps!

Rarely!! They come down too heavily on the side of the offender than the victim.

What is the country coming to when a BURGLAR in SOMEONE ELSES house, gets injured and CAN SUE the homeowner - when he should not have been there in the first place???

Many of the judges and magistrates seem not to live in the real world and see everyday life - or have they become immune to it because of their jobs?

The government needs to start listening to the people and instead of taking the Human Rights Act as GOSPEL, act with some common sense. WHY does a criminal have greater HUMAN RIGHTS than his VICTIM.

If you live outside the law then your right to Human Rights should be REDUCED.

No, of course not! They always helped out criminals.

One should never have complete confidence in a system.

I have far more confidence in the police, probation service and justiciary doing their job representing the law than politicians representing the public.

No. How can you. Look at Stephen Lawrence and Damilola Taylor. I also read an article recently about a smart lawyer who gets celebrities and footballers out od speeding charges by exploiting loopholes in the law. Finally I think everyone who uses a mobile phone while driving shou;d be prosecuted under the law but are they? No, but that's British Justice for you!!!!

no because some time ago they shot brazilian civilan in the head because he didnt pay for atrain ticket how insane is that so no it is a bunch of crap


♥fluffykins_69♥
nope not at all


The Q
No. Absolutely not. But there aren't many better. Unfortunately the confrontational system dictates that it becomes a contest first and foremost, and justice and truth are a possible (not definite) byproduct.

It is a farce.

No. Access to the law is impossible for the ordinary working man. The rich can buy justice, offenders, immigrants and social security scroungers have legal aid. The working man cannot buy justice and is denied legal aid and is thereby denied justice. Victims are forgotten so how can anyone have faith in it?

The U.S. justice system is supposed to be the best in the world and I don't even trust that justice system. I would probably trust the British justice system. Seems to be a bit more fair and tolerant than alot of countries.

I don't have complete confidence in ANY justice system. Mistakes are made everywhere.

what justice system, we let illegals into the country to rape our women and steal from us and when we do actually catch them what do we do put them in jails that are more ofton than not better than where thay came from, why dont we just send them back home to where they came from.
the reason is cause of our p/c government if we went to these other counties would we get treated as good.....hmmmm
