Blood on Labour’s Hands

Peter Lynch, a 61-year-old grandfather, was found dead in his cell on Saturday night and is believed to have taken his own life, prison sources told The Telegraph.

Mr Lynch was imprisoned at HMP Moorland after having been sentenced to a prison term of two years and eight months for the crime of calling asylum seekers ‘Child Killers’. The judge who passed the sentence, Judge Jeremy Richardson, recently decided to spare a man charged with grooming and making indecent photos of children from jail. The offender in question, according to sentencing guidelines, should have received a custodial sentence, and indeed, Judge Richardson KC stated when handing down the sentence, “A custodial sentence is plainly justified in a case of this kind, but I make it clear a custodial sentence for you would be crushing and you would suffer comprehensibly in prison.” It is a shame that he didn’t choose to show the same consideration to Mr Lynch and his family as he showed to a convicted paedophile.

This pattern can be seen to have been repeated all across the UK. It seems that many of the agents of our justice system are meek and mild, the very picture of gentle Christ-like love and understanding when sentencing paedophiles and foreign sex criminals, but undergo a sudden and rather peculiar metamorphosis into 18th-century hanging judges when sentencing granny for ill-advised social media posts in the heat of the moment.

This is indicative of an elite class that knows where the regime’s priorities lie and who to hit hard. At our recent conference, Homeland Party Chairman Kenny Smith advocated for our people, wherever possible, to secure positions as Magistrates in their local community. For too long, we have ceded these important positions of power to leftists and unscrupulous people.

No doubt, Mr Lynch arrived in prison and was immediately confronted by the sight of gangs of Muslim and Albanian men who dominate the prison system. To place an elderly Englishman convicted of a crime such as that of Mr Lynch in such circumstances is often tantamount to a death sentence, as we saw previously in the case of Kevin Crehan, who was jailed for placing bacon on a mosque and also later died in prison.

Our thoughts and prayers today are with the family of Peter Lynch, a loving grandfather, taken from his family far too soon.
