The justice secretary, Shabana Mahmood, on Wednesday confirmed that crown court judges would sit for a collective 110,000 days in the next financial year – which falls 3,000 short of the government’s stated maximum capacity in August last year. The lady chief justice, Sue Carr, has been pushing the Ministry of Justice to use the full 113,000 available sitting days to bring the backlog down. She told the justice select committee in November she had been told by the MoJ “that the funding would not be available” to run at maximum capacity.

How are you going to ban criminals from pubs and social events? By putting a 'No Criminals' sign on the door?
And lets face it, many of our criminals don't go to the pub anyway. Is a mosque a social event?
