‘If you were a man, you’d be going to jail,’ judge (Mark Lowe, QC) tells female burglar (Terry Remmer, 23)

Our thanks to Steve for this. The woman has a number of previous convictions, including for shoplifting and theft.

    • Because no doubt he’s a gentleman and feels ladies shouldn’t suffer. Which after all is the traditional point of view (so shamelessly exploited by feminists ). Well good news for feminism (well really not) and bad news for the chivalrous is that over 90% of the respondents to the paper’s poll think the ladies are equally responsible and should face the same punishments. In total the whole thing neatly makes Philip Davies’ MP point for him, and it appears the folk of Sunderland agree.

    • It could be he’s just being a “Gent”. However the Corston Report (Baroness Corston) has been adopted by the Gov. and so it is official guidance to reduce to vanishing Women’s Prisons through the simple expedient of never sentencing women to prison. One of the excuses being motherhood (as we see in another post quite a different tack is taken on fatherhood). Perhaps the chap was just following orders.

      • Undoubtedly so, and I may be doing him an injustice. Perhaps he is fully conscious that he is selling himself, his position and all men cheaply. Perhaps he cringes every time he sentences a man to five-with-hard-labour and then merely waggles an admonishing figure at a woman for the same crime. Perhaps he cries himself to sleep every night after a day of “being a gent” and “just following orders”. Maybe, just maybe, he is working like a demon behind the scenes to point out and to end this blatant discrimination against almost half of the population, but I seriously doubt it.

        it’s a tired and overworked old argument, and I apologise in advance for it, but would he feel similarly “gentlemanly”, would he implement without argument, orders on separate sentencing guidelines for any other human sub-division? My cynical, realist, opinion is that yes, he probably would. If introduced slowly enough, through the “correct” channels, on headed notepaper, most of the judiciary would sit on a bench laden with separate volumes of sentencing guidelines for men, women, ethnic groups, religious groups, social groups and probably even groups self-identifying as left-handed lesbian llamas. Those on the benches hand down the law, they don’t hand down “justice”.

        My disapprobation remains.

    • I read that too.
      It appears females are never held responsible for their own criminal behaviour,there’s always a man or ex partner driving it.

  1. The problem is that the judge is confusing the ball room and the race horse track with the courtroom. His chivalry belongs to the former two, not the latter. he is the enabler of feminism and the oppressor of men.
