It’s a shame that the Payne family have had to go through this farcical process just to see Roy Whitings term reduced by 10 years, following his appeal against the 50-year “tariff” applied by the then Home Secretary David Blunkett in 2002.
Whiting, currently 51, will be 82 before he is eligible for parole. This assumes that he reaches that age.
Shouldn’t life mean life ?
Surely it was an obvious requirement that anyone settling in the UK must be able to speak english. Am I the only one who believes this.
For all types of immigration the requirements should be …..
Am I being too harsh. I don’t think so. I would expect nothing less from any country that I planned to settle in. Why would you plan to live in a foreign country unless you plan to integrate into their culture. Isn’t that why you went there in the first place, because it was foreign ?
There is nothing worse that the expat communities in Spain, Greece, Italy, Portugal etc.. Everywhere you see signs declaring English Sunday Lunch, English Breakfast, English Pubs and so on. Then the “new locals” wonder why they are seeing a rise in “anti Brit” crimes in their community.
Seems just like England.
Congratulations to the British government for waking up…….. you are only 50 years too late.
Roy Whiting must never get parole. What possible grounds are there to release such a person back into the public domain.
Sarah had her life snuffed out. She has no future. Her family have a lifetime of living with the knowledge of what this animal did.
Therefore, if we are not to have the death penalty, anyone who takes a life should live there lives under lock and key.
