I sorta liked the first batch better. Ah well.

I have to wonder about the BBC's reporting though.

A gang of armed robbers have been jailed for life

Jamaican national Lincoln, 18, from Barking, and Rwandan Majera, 22, from nearby Dagenham were ordered to each serve seven years.

Portuguese national Frota, 19, also from Barking, must serve six years and three months.

Frota's older brother Luis, 22, escaped a life sentence and was handed a four-and-a-half year term for his lesser role.

Judge Witold Pawlak told Lincoln, Majera and Pedro Frota they must serve a minimum of seven years before they could be considered for parole.

- Where are the 'life' sentences?

- How could the ones given seven year sentences have to serve seven years before being considered for parole?

- Did the reporter who wrote this have his head stuck someplace strange?

- Did the editor who proof read the piece have a head .... nope, won't go there.

I wondered about those things!

They were jailed for 'life' but with minimum terms.....

 

Contrast that with the OAP who has been jailed for 32 days for not paying his council tax and must serve the full term.

 

Justice Uk style!!!

Justice Uk style!!!

And when he gets out, he STILL has to pay the Council Tax or can be sent back again.

All four defendants, who have previous convictions, face deportation after their sentences have been served.

 

should have been deported sooner

[Slap]

It begs the question, why should they serve their sentence here at all?

 

They are only convicted crims here. so why waste our money keeping them in jail?

 

Send 'em back tomorrow I say
