Venables allegedly possessed child porn
Discussion
Regarding this whole argument about whether the public have a right to know the details of his new offences, there is something that I haven't seen mentioned.
If we, the public, are responsible for voting government into power and therefore responsible for public policy and law, then don't we need to know the details of the re-offence as a measure of success of the rehabilitation programme through which this fella was set up with a new identity at huge cost to the taxpayer?
I understand they've done in in 4 cases so far, but how do we know whether it's worthwhile and a benefit to society if these 4 people are running about raping people left and right and all we get to hear is Will Self suggesting that it could well have been a mere parking ticket?

How the hell did that fker get issued one.
i would "guess" his new identity does not link him to any crime?How the hell did that fker get issued one.
If people like him are issued new identities then there should be a maker put on them for police checks etc. Licences that require these checks should/can then be declined if need be. The employer doesn't need to know the reason for the decline only that the person is unsuitable for employment.
FFS this is basic !! Why the hell can't the government and these agencies who issue them understand this. Yet again their incompetence is putting the public at risk once again over the human rights of scum like this.
WTF is wrong with this bloody country and the numbskulls who are apparently in control.

Yep. But what about their human rights?! Apparently, they got 8 years. I laughed this morning when they mentioned it on the radio. 8 years for stoning a child to death. Not bad if you're throwing the stones, I guess.Edited by ShadownINja on Saturday 6th March 11:02

Prison should prison, hard labour and lock down for the worst offenders and bring back the death penalty for absolute, proven to be guilty sex and murder crimes.
Are you trying to say the current system does not consider those it jails to be absolute, proven to be guilty offenders?No system is infallible.

They took a life and life should mean life, they lost any right to it years ago as far as I'm concerned.
The system is a joke full-stop, it's about time this country mans up, grows some balls and puts st where it belongs.

should prison be just punishment or rehabilitation?
Perhaps the lefty PC brigade are right, perhaps they would have grown up to be fine upstanding members of the community in different circumstances but the fact is they are severely broken inside, they will never be able to function in normal society and will always be a danger to the public and no amount of new identities and free holidays will change that.
The only option is to institutionalise them for the rest of their lives, at a cost of around £40kpa, or shoot the bds and get it over with.

What really irrates me is, the government spend a suggested million pounds, in provinding this guy with a new secure identity, so that he can carry out his life now in the safest way possible.
how though, are the government protecting the likes of you and i o#and ours, by allowing us to mix in every day life, possibly employ, befriend or associate with him now and his new identity?
millions pounds spent for one person, fk the rest of us who can i add, provided the million in the first place
In cases like this one, where there was totally no doubt of the guilt, i dont believe for a minute they should have ever have seen daylight again, jamie wont

No, it seems that the position he had didn't require a licence or police vetting.
Do you know the position he actually held?It says here that he was employed by a company that provided door staff etc.

AFAIK to be employed by one of these companies you have to have a SIA licence which would require a police check.
Or am I wrong in this assumption?

Now my understanding about the SIA thing is that it's only required for door staff. Security inside etc. don't need to be registered.
