I can't see this in itself working but I wish the lady every success.

This nasty piece of work needs to stay behind bars.

By the way, every congratulations should go to Zac Goldsmith here....raising it in MPQs as he did today.

Having met him, I can honestly say he was a complete gentleman and behaved in an impeccable manner, he had all the women eating out of his hand. I can see how he managed to convince these women to drink with him in his cab.

I don't know why politicians are getting involved in this.

It was long ago established - quite rightly - that in the UK politicians have no right to get involved in individual judicial decisions. They set the framework but individual matters are dealt with by an independent judiciary.

Parliament has decided that prisoners serving certain custodial sentences have recourse to the Parole Board to seek release. They have also determined that the Parole Board is not allowed, by law, to publish the reasons for its decisions. I disagree with both those principles but whilst they are as they are politicians should concentrate on lobbying for a change in the existing arrangements rather than trying to interfere in a case where they (or more probably their constituents) feel a wrong decision has been made.
