About fucking time. It's horrific the way he's been treated, if he'd accepted blame he would have been out years ago, but if that guy he'd stabbed had accepted treatment he wouldn't have gone to jail in the first place. I hope Satpal can clear his name and sue the Government. 16 fucking years.

It's not much of a victory for justice, though, is it? Man serves more than his allotted time for a murder he was almost certainly not to blame for.

Check the disparity of these two headlines in tomorrow's papers...
The Guardian: "I was victimised says freed prisoner"
The Telegraph: "Outrage over murderer's freedom".

Fortunately the Mail has declined to cover the story at all...

Thank fuck for that, and thank fuck for the European Court - may they continue to piss off the UK's own evil little shit politicians in this manner as often as possible...

And get this- the Express, in their snidey little way, have managed, by reprinting a cover they had ages ago about the EC's ability to overturn shit judgments by Straw et al, to, by association, bring Myra Hindley into the whole debate. (Inset reprint of front cover with Hindley, headline- "LET THEM ROT", which, as I remember, accompanied an article about how those wacky PC-gone-mad lefties in Europe were gonna free all the psychos and we'd all die.)
Like, yeah, it's OBVIOUSLY the same thing if you kill someone in self-defense or if you go out and torture a bunch of kids to death.

Yay for Satpal. And a big nay for Straw. (And someone decided a guy like that would be a great guy to go out and deal with other countries for us? Fuck.)
