Just when you think Soft Britain has reached the very bottom of the barrel, have a look at this story and think again.
What exactly would the offender have had to have done to be jailed?
WARNING : those of you with high blood pressure might want to look away now for fear of raising it beyond advisable levels.
The story is being covered widely online, and this report is as good as any.

The misleading of the Court regarding the phoney cricketing contract has belatedly been heard by the Judge, reportedly after reference to the CPS by Leicester CCC.
An 18 month custodial sentence has now been imposed for the disgraceful offences. I daresay this means he will be out well before next season's County Championship begins. Allah alone knows what he would have had to have done to get 19 months, or something resembling a deterrent sentence. Well done Leicester County Cricket Club, now everyone's second (or even first) favourite cricket team. . http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-39529714 |

Judge probably thought she should be at home in the kitchen. It turns out the judge was using "particularly vulnerable" in the legal sense used in the sentencing guidelines. The secret barrister blog is worth a read https://thesecretbarrister.com/2017/04/07/post-script-mustafa-bashir-a-non-existent-cricket-career-and-victim-vulnerability/ Interestingly, the judge seems to have left it open for the CPS to charge Bashir with perverting the course of justice by lying about the cricket contract. Tbh I think the whole bloody lot of them should be banged up for not ever doubting that an amateur could get a county contract at the age of 34. He'd be not many years off retirement. |
