Lost in the Importance of Christmas

Happy New Year to you all. I am back after after the Christmas break and my bout of winter vomiting bug that seems to have hit just about everybody.

I hope santa was kind to you this year. He was very king to leave me a bill for £400 for a new alternator after we broke down on Christmas Day coming back from the in-laws!

Christmas is a time for families, which seems something lost on Judge John Reddihough on a story of huge importance which got lost in the mist of Christmas and the festive season.

The case of Munir Hussain should send shock waves down the spine of all those who believe the law is on their side.
The nightmare for the 53 year old family man unfolded when he came home from worshipping with his family at their local mosque in High Wycombe to discover three masked intruders.

They threatened Hussain and his family, tied their hands behaind their backs and made them crawl around the house before forcing them to lie down in the living room.

A teenage son manged to escape and alert his uncle who lived close by. Help arrived and the intruders fled, chased by Hussain and his brother.

The brothers caught up with one of the intruders and beat him with a cricket bat. Suddenly, the intruder, a serial criminal with over 50 convictions, became a victim as Munir Hussain and his brother Tokeer were jailed for 30 and 39 months respectively.

I have to ask, a man who savagely beats an intruder with over 50 convictions to his name, who tied up his family at knifepoint is now serving a 30 month prison sentence. The judge said that he has a public duty to send hime to prison. Was the Judge right?
