Bernard Ingham Blamed Our “Liberal Elite” And “Wet Judges”

[Invicta]

Sir

Bernard Ingham blamed our “liberal elite” and “wet judges” for criminals escaping punishment

 

The late Prime Minister’s close aide blamed our “liberal elite” and “wet judges” for permitting a string of the “basest” criminals to escape proper punishment.

He said: “Our pathetic liberal establishment has, over the years, done a superbly effective demolition job on a respectable and responsible nation. They have destroyed any sense of shame by their insistence that there is always a sociological explanation for an individual’s criminality.”

In the wake of the uproar over last week’s lawful killing verdict in the Mark Duggan inquest, Sir Bernard said these liberals had ensured “we are all victims – including gangsters with guns shot by the police – never human beings with a will of our own who should know right from wrong and live within the law”.

He further hit out at ­Britain’s inability to deport “foreign dregs” because of human rights laws, adding: “All this adds up to one inevitable conclusion...our criminal justice system has gone to pot.”

I agree with him.

Yes, that's a good assessment.

 

We see in Scripture when God gave Israel their criminal law that everyone was held accountable, no distinctions made based upon age, sex, race, religion, etc. One law applied to all equally and evenly.

 

When it came to someone causing the death of another the only question was as to whether such were an accident or premeditated. There were no "extenuating circumstances". Once the determination of accidental death or premeditated was arrived at, punishment was sure and swift.
