Some judges are incompetent

What do you think? Judges - They need to be jailed or made to cough up the readies to make up for their general incompetence and the mistakes they make.

I have been divorced for 4 years, was married for 14.  My ex-wife worked in a travel agency when we met and has never had a career of her own.  I work in sales so no schmoozing or entertaining has ever featured in my home life.  She has never been instrumental in any achievements I have made in my job.

Judges, laywers, courtroom

She kept the house, the contents and the car

As a dad I’ve always participated fully at all stages with the children, from night-time feeds to nappy changing and entertaining them.  When we parted the children were 13 and 7.  She kept the house, the contents and the car as well as the children having residence although full access for me was assumed.  This was all arranged between us.  I also offered to pay £1000 per month (way over the amount demanded by the CSA!) for child maintenance.  I have never failed to meet my obligation even though when I moved out I had no job.

At no time have I considered it my duty to pay her any spousal maintenance.  She gave up nothing when she married me.  In fact, she was 28 and had not progressed in any sort of career – she worked in a travel agency.  She is fit and healthy and at 46 could easily do a full time job, but chooses not to.  She has equity of about £90k in the house plus savings and I have nothing saved as I pay it all to her already.

Recently I wanted to formalise the money side of things with my ex because I’ve met a new partner and we’ve bought a house together.  I would like to pay my daughter her share of the child maintenance directly to her when she starts university and the same for my son when he reaches 18.  Remember I’m still paying £1000 a month, though it is becoming difficult now that I’ve got a new mortgage and other outgoings.  My salary is not huge and relies to a great extent upon bonuses earned by me and not guaranteed.

The judge at the county court decided to my horror and utter disbelief that I should reduce the amount of child maintenance I give for the children, give it to my ex wife instead and add another wad on top. When I asked how long this would be for, his answer was that it would be for life!  So, the situation if I go along with this is that I will now work my whole life and she will be able to sit on her backside and treat her new boyfriend to a good time on MY MONEY!  The injustice of it burns, but even more galling is the fact that the judge (who went to the wrong city at the start of the day delaying the proceedings – what sort of confidence does that instil in you?) took absolutely no account of my expenses/mortgage/bills, and my right to a decent life as well.

Now, I realise the judiciary of this fine country are virtually infallible, but after just 10 minutes with the paperwork and without asking any questions at all, this geriatric twerp felt suitably confident in his own brilliance to make this most asinine pronouncement.

His decision was one that will condemn me to penury for ever; prevent me interacting with and treating my children and also bring an end to all activities that we can enjoy together including sport and training etc, etc.  It’s outrageous that he can smugly dismiss my arguments without recourse to any higher authority.  The only option left is to take it all the way to court and find the vast sum of money that a trial will cost.

Judges need to drop the patronising attitude, become accountable to the public and suffer consequences of their actions just like anyone else in society.  This particular judge is a ridiculous old fool and needs to be pensioned off, or better still contribute some of his fat pension fund to the victims of his outrageous and smug incompetence!!!!

Recently, I was informed that documents concerning another claim involving the same organisation (Lambeth Council) currently in the Employment Tribunal (South), included forgery relating to this particular case and other cases. An appeal with the EAT was dismissed because of the complaint made against the corrupt Employment Tribunal Judge. I was also informed that the EAT took the unusual responsibility to prepare the hearing bundle and deliberately refused to disclose evidence. Information about the judge involved in this matter has not been disclosed as I was told that the Regional Judge of the Tribunal is still investigating this matter.

Jason Robinson, 36, who managed a car hire firm in Falkirk, faked a contract and warning letter after a former receptionist accused him of harassment. He was jailed for four months for perverting the course of justice. This case shows that the Scottish are more honest than the English. It this case had been heard in Scotland, the four Lambeth managers including the investigation manager who criticised the Respondent but later came to the Tribunal to make false statement under oath would have got jail sentence. The Respondent also claimed that a comparator who is black from the Jamaica was white in an attempt to pervert the course of justice. When asked to invite the comparator to court, it was rejected as the judge was aware of the plot.

The UK judicial system is very corrupt. I came across information about this case and I happen to know the Claimant who was a former employee of the London Borough of Lambeth, he was victimised by his managers because of his race and sex. I went through the Employment Tribunal judgment and the recent judgment past by the EAT. I cannot imagine how a judge in the right mind can pass such judgment and manipulate evidence in an attempt to pervert the course of justice. The Respondent (Lambeth Council) made use of forged document where the female Judge was informed; the Judge took side with Lambeth in spite of their corrupt practices. The Respondent’s investigation manager and HR confirmed forgery at the early stage of this matter and more forged document were produced by the Respondent at the Tribunal hearing. They were rejected by the judge after the documents were proven to be forged. I can boldly write about this matter publicly because I have supporting evidence.

This week a serial burgler who burgled a house every day for four years, has been given a six year stretch inside, (with good behaviour he will be out after three years)

The 1500 houses that he burgled, is about the size of a large housing estate, and he has allready done time inside for doing burglarys,

That means that those 1500 householders are now constantly worried every time they go out or on holiday, the average citizen can avoid a lot of OTHER crime using common sense,

You can greatly reduce the chances of being mugged on the street, by watching where and when you go out, and avoid being out on your own,

You can greatly reduce the chances of being beaten to a pulp by drunks, by keeping away from the pubs and clubs where they will usually be,

You can greatly reduce the chances of violence from another person, by walking away from any confrontations and threats, or avoiding their type as much as you can,

You can greatly reduce the chances of getting your car or bike nicked, by buying good quality locks and being carefull where it is left when not in use,

But NO ONE is safe from the burgler, a lot of people live in constant fear of this crime, a kings ransom has to be spent to keep your garden and house impregnable from this type of evil lowlife,

But when it comes to sentencing by judges in this country, the thieves are treated as if they have been caught shoplifting, or havn't paid their council tax, or not got a fishing or tv licence.

A 22 year old has been jailed for six months for driving off twice without paying for petrol, and assulting a police officer in Heanor.

Compare that sentence with other judges giving serial burglers "another chance" after being convicted of numerous burglaries.

Reading the Nottingham news on the net, I see that three men have broken into a 40 years old disabled womens house in Mansfield, and at 04-30 hours this morning, punch her in the face in her bedroom, before stealing her car and both wheelchairs, three men are under arrest,

I think they should each serve ten years for this crime, to do that, you have got to be very evil,

But I am sure as hell the judge, which ever one it will be, will give them another chance.

The Conservatives are backing a Sunday Telegraph campaign called The Right to Defend Yourself.
If Mr. Hussain has become a criminal in defending himself against the thugs who attacked his home, then the law is wrong and needs to be changed.

This Walid Salem burgler has got a 30 year history of convictions, he was carrying a knife, and threatened to kill the family in the house he was burgling,

I thought carrying a knife meant an automatic prison sentence (but I was proved wrong here),
"THIS WAS AN ARMED ROBBERY YOUR HONOUR"

Knowing that some judges let off burglers, maybe this is the reason that some householders fight back, at least that way they will get some justice,

But in this case a career burgler walks free, and the householder is now in jail,
(I wonder if it is because he is an asian)

Could somone out there please burgle all the judges houses, maybe when they see the violation of their own home, they may realise that burglers want putting away for good, no second chances.

Seeking justice is not a 'gripe'-it's a basic human right!!...our situtation is not much different from many Iranis,North Koreans,Palestinians,Saudis,---even many Americans!!

The public should demonstrate it has some sense and insist that the same standards be set for judges and lawyers as exsist for health professionals.When the right to true justice has the same merit as the right to good health.. well...the former will have actually delivered the latter!!

The list starts here(please add proven factual detail as required)-these 'blinded-by-egoism eminences' apparently receive only 3 1/2 days of training before they are given the authority to 'preside'-truly they not only prove UK justice is indeed blind but deaf and dumb too!!:
