Anyone who doubts Tommy’s explanation for why he was imprisoned just needs to look at all the people jailed for telling the truth about the Southport stabbings. The UK is a nascent Orwellian state. But it is maturing as one very quickly.
Note that Great Britain is now charging Tommy for all their legal costs for sending him to jail. I was not aware that was a thing outside of the Soviet Union.
the courts charging a defendant with court costs is a real thing in america..i witnessed it myself . its the judges perogitive he doesnt need to get approval for it.
this judge that i was next to go in front of determined that the person before me was responsible for every persons present at that times court cost..there were about 20 of us present. each case was given a 80 dollar court cost.
she thought that was fair along with jail time for 30 days .
what was the persons crime? writing a hot check..
the judge reasoned that since this person had already been before her charged with the same crime she needed to somehow punish the person
based on a previous court case .
i didnt feel that was right. i was 19 at the time..
i was there because i was hired to go to door to door selling magazine subscriptions..turns out my boss never bought that permit that was required
my case was dismissed because i was considered a victim of this guys fraudulent activity.
these judges have more powers than they actually need and they abuse them..
