Is British Justice getting dafter..

So this week has seen yet another triumph of the British "Justice" system.

A man who was given a ticket for parking in a "parent and child" space in an Asda carpark, got angry and clipped the jobsworth warden with his car as he drove off in anger was jailed for six months,banned from driving for 15 months and is being made to take an extended driving test.

Now he was definitely driving dangerously probably because he was so angry, after all it was Asda which has free parking and even if he didn't have a child when he parked, is it an offence which should attract a fine of £60 ? How long does it take to pop into Asda and grab some milk, bread etc. (don't get me started on how many tills were open or the queues and inept staff!). I would have been bloody angry too!!.

He was given a prison sentence, not because of his dangerous driving but because he was a middle class man who drove a Jaguar and "needed to be made an example of" even though he admitted what he had done and has a family with young children to support.

WHAT !!!! when the drugged up benefit grabbing scum who burgle homes, steal cars and then make off from the police, driving at huge speeds in residential areas, putting the general public at risk, then crash some hard working persons car and resist arrest go to court they deny the offence, costing an expensive trial (legal aid naturally) and end up with "community service" (which they don't bother to turn up for) or a fine which they pay at 50p a week because they have to pay for a drug habit !. THESE are the ones the British public want to see examples made of .

On a side note why have private parking firms, who have the ability to levy whatever fines they see fit for alleged "offences" suddenly started appearing in supermarket carparks? Are these the same people who were/are wheelclampers and have now been legislated against ?.... Personally I have NEVER been to a supermarket carpark where there are no parking spaces so what exactly are these firms trying to enforce ? How much are the multi-million pound supermarkets making from them ? ...............Oh yeah, "every little helps" !!
