Jon Venables

This shocking case and its heart-wrenchingly sad history shows up almost everything that is wrong in the British Justice System. It's not so much the secrecy surrounding Jon Venables re-incarceration, although that itself has been badly handled and poorly explained; it is that Venables was let out in the first place by a mad piece of European law that gives more rights to murderers than to victims and their immediate families. European law is framed by bureaucrats who have no feeling nor caring about what people actually want and expect. Bureaucratic law that goes against natural law is bound to be held in contempt by ordinary people, and especially victims and their families. What Britons want is that the perpetrators of the most evil and heinous crimes are locked behind bars for life and even, let's be frank, suffer the death penalty themselves. Even that would be more civilised than what was offered to their victims. In these cases there is no rehabilitation, only the ultimate mercy of their Creator.
