[News] Southport Murderer Pleads Guilty

[ROSM]

absolutely ....soft., not severe enough. I am well aware of what barristers are paid , my nieces father in law is one , he's polluted with money and is moving to America when he retires.

The average salary for a barrister is 89k. Starting salary is 40k which usually requires 5 years training before reaching this status.

Given Barristers are self employed the range depends on the work they do. Legal aid or junior criminal defence Barristers will be at the lower end c50k after 9 years experience.

That's a good salary but not 'polluted' by any means

I was in London at the time, but for reasons not for here, I've been living a few miles from Southport on and off for over a year.

Talk to locals, drink in their pubs. Haven't detected the deranged fury on social media about what happened.

Just sadness and pain about the complete randomness of a terrible terrible attack in a very small town on the coast.

Itself very let down and in places crumbling, but the people are lovely.

I watched the judge today and in places it was almost impossible to listen to. The families have asked the media that the finer details aren't repeated just yet.

But still, the usual "New Media" suspects are declaring another cover up.

Of course, the whole case needs looking into. How "Prevent" is geared to stop ideological extremism and basically let a psychopath fell through the cracks.

But those looking for a cover up care nothing for the victims or the families. They are using it to advance their careers, whether commercially or politically and have radicalised thousands of conspiracy theory suspectable individuals to do the same.

Scum.
