Justice is afforded and rehabilitation is a myth? This may be so, as rehabilitation can take on many forms. As it stands now our system aims to deter people from crime via long and harsh incarceration sentences. If you have a better system, by all means speak up. Maybe we should sentence them to 1 year of Group Hugs? It's very easy to stand on the sidelines and run your mouth and bi*tch about the problems in the system, it's quite a bit different to actually have an intelligent thought and propose an alternative to the system. I however, do not believe that afford criminals more rights than the victims is an appropriate solution, if that is what your post attempts to advance.

Prejudicial disparities and policing and judging practices are appaling? How so. Spare me the racial prejudice and oppression card. If you did not do the crime, you would not be standing in front of the judge. In a rare minority of cases the parties are actually innocent. By in large however, the majority of the defendants are guilty of the crimes they're accused of, and receive the sentences they deserve. This is a straw man argument.

The points that you have tried to make in your post do nothing to justify the travesty of justice illustrated in the aforementioned news article. The fact of the matter is, that the citizens of the UK have acquiesced all of their political clout and power to the ranking political elite and no longer have a say in their government. A systematic and institutional policy of liberalization and socialization has occurred in their country, a wide sweeping policy of political correctness and illogical thinking and behavior. The UK is now a country where the criminals are victims of the system, and the victims are criminals for being part of the system that victimized the criminals.

So little Jerome didn't get hugged enough when he was a child. He didn't get a good enough education (our faults). He didn't have the same opportunities because the system held him down (our faults). He got arrested several times for petty theft (our faults) and now no one will hire him (our faults). So now when little Jerome breaks into a home and assaults the occupants with a deadly weapon, we're going to give him probation because it's really not his fault, its ours for being part of the system. In fact, the homeowners really have no rights to defend themselves against a brutal attacker, they should call the constables and wait for them to arrive while in the meantime little Jerome beats our fu*king skulls in. That's the politically correct and humane thing to do. For christ sakes, the police who show up are most likely going to show up without guns!
For sure the problem is criminals rights are considered too highly in a lot of cases with the Labour party. Frankly I doubt they will still be in power after the upcoming general election since most people have lost faith in them. The Tories have very different ideas and have already stated that laws will be changed to allow people to defend themselves in cases like this. But well talk is cheap and I don't really trust any of those w*nker politicians.
