The UK has gone mad

It's pretty bad to release violent prisoners to make room for petty crime, but this comparison isn't fair.

The social media post guy was sentenced to 20 months. It's yet to be seen whether he has to finish all that if the prison capacity remains an issue. As we don't know how long he'll sit for, we can only compare sentences. That was also 20 months for being an accomplice in a machete murder. The actual murderer got 110 months and is not being released after only 6.

It's not good, but not nearly as bad as you're implying here.

Im commenting a non white British person . Any killing is abhorrent and should be dealt with accordngly. The logic usually applied to a crime in any country is on the basis of victims or potential victims. Postings false info or inciting riots on social media is akin to leading the burning of the " witches" back in the day. One person could harm hundreds if not stopped. Else 100s could be harmed which is what happend.
Unfortunately the system is broken and lives don't seem to worth much these days.

I read into this and your headline is a bit misleading.

Not that it's stopped people piling in with opinions.

Natty was charged for his part in the manslaughter: as an accomplice to his friend who has a much harsher sentence and has not been released early. I agree that he got released too early but your framing (or where you got this from) is misleading.

In addition, the guy who got twenty months for a social media post won't serve the twenty months of his sentence. For good behaviour, his likely to get parole and early release: as most prisoners do.

It also wasn't just a 'social media post.' He directly incited people to directly and violently attack a building housing asylum seekers. Several were injured and there might have been fatalities if the police hadn't shown up.

He deserved his sentence.

Let's not forget Just Stop Oil members got five year jail sentences for what a judge called "conspiracy to cause a public nuisance." The sentences were handed out for using social media to coordinate direct action protests on the motorway. That means they got five years in jail for blocking traffic. You're correct. It is madness.

Yeah... he should've been let go, despite the fact that he did something that caused terrified people to barricade themselves into a stairwell of a building that they reasonably suspected would be burning, right???

Nah, less than a year isn't long enough (10 months) when he could have literally killed people because of what he wrote. The only comfort in this is that the tosser will be able to tell us what Christmas Dinner tastes like care of HMP.

Nope it’s finally cracking down on racial hatred.

Wonder why the far-right thugs were scared to come back out onto the streets for the last two weeks?

Exactly.

2 tier justice

What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?

That's how I usually look at the distribution of laws and penalties.

We will lock someone up for hundreds of years if they commit a finacial crime, but you murder someone you can get out after only doing eight years in prison.

It's one of the many reasons I refused to become a cop.

i have heard there are problems over there. what in the world is going on?

As an actual Brit with a UK passport - it's always been this way.

Because remember, telling the truth against a tryannical government is more heinous than actual crimes against the innocent.
