“Why Are We Wasting Taxpayer’s Money On A Monster Like This?” | Kevin Blasts Parole Board

Double child killer Colin Pitchfork’s latest parole bid to be freed from jail will take place in public in July.
The Parole Board granted an application for a public hearing in the case in the “interests of justice”, a decision published on Thursday said.
The reviews are typically conducted behind closed doors, but can now - in certain circumstances - take place in public if requested, after changes in the law in a bid to remove the secrecy behind the process.
Talk’s international editor Isabel Oakeshott joins Kevin O’Sullivan to discuss this further.

Bring back capital punishment! Ropes not that expensive!!!

[@sammic7492]

Pedophiles can NOT be rehabilitated, and that is a fact. So why are we even contemplating letting him out? The judiciary in this country are a pathetic joke.

[@michaelkemp6857]

Parole Board not fit for purpose!!

[@susanbishop5228]

Could the truth be that. Those in charge simply don't care about the safety of young girls.

[@carolhughes5060]

I'm sorry but imo the people who make these decisions are on the same page as the perpetrator, how can anyone who isn't make these henious decisions

[@Andy-di1zd]

Because these crimes don’t affect them. They’re in a different world. There is a word for these people but I can’t say it on here

[@ijustwannaleaveacommentony6511]

maybe inside he converted to a certain belief system which is given free reign now in our country , just a guess.

[@Spaceman-jk5fb]

Prisoners are allowed to live for free.

He is probably trans now

[@user-cl7ub8ft6x]

No way should this murderer be released from prison!

[@mistycat1954]

Throw the key away .

[@davemrec]

He should get 6 weeks in prison BUT not segregated from the normal prisoners.

[@valeriegrimshaw1365]

Starmer will let ALL of them out...

[@plebtron]

It's not the prisoners the do gooders are concerned about. It's their own sanctimonious beliefs that with understanding and kind words they and only they can help the criminal to mend the error of their ways. Total bollox of course . They're just too full of themselves to admit it

[@EricsGoldMine-hi3xn]

I always thought that the fundamental principle of justice was to ensure an offender did not profit by his crimes. One who takes the life of another but is allowed to retain his own has not received justice, and remains in a position of advantage over his victim. Forget about the concepts of revenge, punishment, deterrence etc., these are secondary considerations and irrelevant to the first principle.

Cheap as chips no tax bill for everyone

[@750triton]

We abolished capitol punishment to ease our way in to the EEC, as it had been banned in EEC countries. Now we're out of what became the EU, the question of capitol punishment should be put to public referendum

Go save it, for mankind

[@drewhyland9574]

It's clear whomever is in charge of his parole clearly shares the same interest. He/she I'm charge is the real risk to the public 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@ijustwannaleaveacommentony6511]

how did this guy survive 30 years in prison as a chimo?

[@danstobbart4406]

More importantly ... why are we wasting TAX PAYERS money giving LISS TRUSS £100k yearly pension for LIFE ... for just ONE months work as P.M. ? 🤔

[@ArchieFatcackie]

More importantly?

[@peterd788]

He won't be released. It's a legal requirement that he get a parole hearing every two years should he choose to avail himself of that right. Virtually everyone of this type returned to prison for breach of licence is not granted parole. He will be denied freedom and in two years he will be denied parole again.

[@ruthd7274]

The US gives sentences with 'no possibility of parole', why can't the UK?

[@colinyates7485]

@@ruthd7274The USA also has capital punishment which is just another term for murder.

[@ruthd7274]

​@@colinyates7485I fail to see the relevance.

[@CliveAdlam-yn8uz]

Capital Punishment has to come back.

[@colinyates7485]

Stupid comment, Capital Punishment is just another term for murder.

[@jean-pascalheynemand3271]

The legal system often follows protocol for the sake of protocol, disconnected from reality.

[@londonhodnet4079]

He isn’t trans now?
