boyfriday Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Why ? - what kind of justice would that be ? - Pakistan is a failed state; a state where the rich can get away with any crime they commit, and the poor have to suffer their consequences. Sickening. Whilst I couldn't possibly champion Pakistan's record on human rights, if this individual comes to grief it will be a delicious case of schadenfreude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyfriday Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Again, people seem to think he'll be subject to some sort of punishment over there. Why do you think this ? I'm not bothered about what comes of him over there-as long as he ain't over here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimba Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Indeed, he's become somebody else's problem. But does not that attitude mean that we excuse him for when he was our problem ? Its a strange notion to think that justice can be served by moving the offender on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andikay Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 It certainly is. Why ? - what kind of justice would that be ? - Pakistan is a failed state; a state where the rich can get away with any crime they commit, and the poor have to suffer their consequences. Sickening. With £5000 to his name will a life in Pakistan be better than a soft UK prison where he is given good food, entertainment shelter and medical care at a cost of £300,000 for his stay.

However, I wouldn't waste too much time or money pursuing him abroad, his life as a fugitive in Pakistan is unlikely to be a pleasurable one, and the added feature is that he's not at large in the UK. Ps: I should moderate my tone as he's not been convicted of anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey maybe that's the new justice, maybe if we don't catch them we could do what we do with failed asylum seekers and have an amnesty ? Maybe its time to give him the status of 'innocent' with him being so good at evading justice ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
