Two carers who were caught on camera slapping bed-bound dementia-sufferer, 85, and taunting her with cup of tea as she helplessly sobbed are spared jail
Unqualified carers Zaria Bi, 48, and Farzana Bibi, 41, were given 12-month community orders for threatening and slapping an 85-year-old woman in their care at Skipton Magistrates Court. Mail.
During my decade on The Bench, it was clear that many who deserved jail were not sent down for these very reasons.
Today, under a Tory government, of sorts, it seems that no wicked people are jailed at all.
My postcode is being ravaged by young burglars and hoodlums - I observed the after effects of a mega piece of vandalism this very morning on our local Asda which had seemingly been attacked by yobs with air rifles overnight.
A member of staff listed all of the many local outrages and left me shocked when he stated that the police know full well who these perpetrators are.
I must suppose it is not worth the time and trouble to take them to court.
When the vigilantism begins - as it surely will -all the liberals on crime will throw up their hands in horror and moan piteously about 'injustice'. Only then will they finally demand exemplary sentences.
