The article in Bexhill Observer (16/12/16) about the inability to locate bail jumpers comes as no surprise to anyone I should think.

The seeming inability of the British legal system to prioritise cases, from those that pose little or no risk to those that are almost definitely a danger to the public, runs right to the top of the legal tree.

Almost weekly, we hear of someone who has been imprisoned for what many would consider a serious crime, being released early and in some cases to re-offend and in many cases this farce has cost innocent people their lives.

The British courts will do anything to keep people out of prison, sadly this is at the expense of any sense of justice for the first victims and certainly with no consideration for any future unfortunates.
