The BBC says:
There is a huge and growing gap between the criminal justice system and what the public expects from it, Tony Blair has said in a speech in Bristol.
In the wake of controversy over prison sentences, the prime minister said the rights of suspects must not "outweigh" those of the "law-abiding majority".
Tony Blair, the most dangerous man in Britain. Nobody would argue that the rights of the "law-abiding majority" should outweigh those of criminals, but only a complete nutter would claim they should outweigh those of suspects. Blair fails to remember the first lesson of the criminal justice system: you are innocent until proven guilty. Of course Blair wants to be dictator, where he can lock people up just because he thinks they ought to be locked up, and this speech is just another indication of that. The sooner we get rid of Blair the better.
