Two tier justice

Guido Fawkes points out:

The same judge who spared jail for a man who attacked someone burning a Quran with a knife gave a man a prison sentence for sending nasty email to John Bercow. Rule of lawyers in action…

Judge Adam Hiddleston gave Moussa Kadri a 20-week prison sentence, suspended for 18 months. In Knightsbridge in February Kadri had seen a man setting alight the Quran and shouted “I’m going to kill you” before “slashing at him with a knife.” …

In 2021 Hiddleston jailed a 35-year-old businessman for one year for sending rude and at times threatening emails to Bercow, Ed Davey, Ian Blackford, Corbyn, and Amber Rudd among others. He said: “I have no doubt that you did harbour a deep-seated animosity to those who held opposing views to your own and that appeared to have been your motivation. The contents of those emails were vile.” More vile than a knife attack?

While I can be critical of some of the NZ judicial decisions, they pale in comparison to UK ones which are just so terrible. An e-mail gets you jail and a stabbing does not.
