Welcome To Consequences

For whom, I'm not so sure...
A teenager convicted of manslaughter has taken the Home Office to court - claiming he is unable to party after leaving prison because of an ankle tag.
He claims curfew condition such as the GPS monitoring tag have made it difficult for him to get a delivery job or see his girlfriend, The Sun reports.

Errr, well, yes. And?  

His claim stated: 'It is detrimental to the claimant’s mental wellbeing that he is unable to leave his premises after 8pm which deprives him of the opportunity to socialise with his peers.'


The case, which was heard in a youth court, heard no details of the attack which saw Slovakian-born Makula jailed.

Wait, why hasn't he been deported? 

While in a young offender's institution, he was reportedly sanctioned 40 times for his behaviour.

I say again, louder, WHY HASN'T HE BEEN DEPORTED?! 

He was eligible for release in March 2020 but was detained with a deportation notice, before being allowed out of immigration detention on bail in May 2020.
During those two months, Makula won a claim for false imprisonment with an £18,500 payout after it emerged he had been eligible for release on license.

He should be laughed out of court and whoever brought the case be charged the courts time.

I'm particularly annoyed about the compensation. Although we won't go into sentencing as it is a separate issue if someone is eligible they should get it. Someone in the civil service didn't do their job again and we pay. It should come out of their pocket and because they held someone imprisoned they should also do some time as well as being sacked.

I'm fed up where time after time civil servants break the law and fuck all happens to them. Nothing they don't even lose their jobs and if, miracles occur, they do they get picked up somewhere else on the gravy train.

This needs to stop. There is no justice in the UK. That needs to be fixed.

I think he should be allowed out to visit his mates, but only after being fitted with a new kind of ankle tag - one where a small explosive charge blows his foot off if he goes more than ten feet from his home address. He'll only do it twice, at the most.The

The type of tag you suggest Penseivat would be better at a collar round the neck, that might also solve many of the problems in the cities.

But he won't be. Because as you say, there's no justice.

"...only after being fitted with a new kind of ankle tag - one where a small explosive charge blows his foot off if he goes more than ten feet from his home address."

I find myself in agreement with ivan. Why waste more time?
