The problem is that politicians are impacting justice and judges are letting it happen.
In the case of the rower that got 6 months my wife read the police had a charge prepared against him that would only warrant for a minor sentence, 2 months or something like that. However some politician, a royalist I might add, wrote a letter to the police chief and suggested he review and maybe charge him for X. As is turns out mr Police chief obliges and X warrants for 6 months in jail. Add to this that apparently 80% of judges in the UK have gone to Oxford in the past and there you go. Horrendous. The way I see if the judge here is the main offender, even with the opportunity to jail him for 6 months it is a judges role to hand out justice, fair justice, not heavy handed, not colored by anything. So the judge could have voided the PMs interference, but didnt. Next thing politicians will running trials! oh hold on.. they are already?
