Justice? And A Bad Idea

My favourite quote was from a couple of days ago when the news reported someone (I didn't catch the name) who objected to the proposed welfare cap, by saying that it would force people out of their current house into one they could afford. Mind you, even Duncan Smith kept referring to people 'earning' £26,000 of benefits.

Just after a judge, hearing how remorseful a lawyer reckoned her thug client was that he inflicted lasting harm on a man by attacking him, for no reason at all, we hear a juror has been jailed for wrecking a GBH trial (completes the irony), by researching the defendant on the internet. So now we know. Crimes of violence are OK with judges, but they get mighty upset if you disrespect their court.
