Officially New Years Eve in our world!
So, this morning was a trip to Poole. This is where Tariq is based but typical, he is in Cardiff at the moment! Again it was a lovely day, the sun was out but it was cold.
Our coach driver then dropped us off in Bournemouth (or we had the choice of returning to the hotel). We went to the Alpine Market and had a good look around there.
After we had lunch , we were too cold and so we caught the bus back to the hotel.
I am disgusted and appalled that Anne Sacoolas has been given an eight month suspended sentence for killing Harry Dunn and also that she refused to return to the UK for sentencing. That is not justice. An elderly man who confused his pedals and ran someone down was sentenced to 18 months in prison!! So a diplomats wife gets nothing.
“This sentence is perhaps the most inevitable outcome of a deeply complex case. Mrs Justice Chema-Grubb could not give Sacoolas a community order, such as unpaid work because, in her words, “it’s obvious no enforcement can be carried out.” An immediate jail sentence would have needed Sacoolas to surrender to the court. And so the judge said the only real option was a suspended sentence plus a driving ban – in the UK.”
In the evening we had a really good singer, so we danced the night away for NYE. It was quite funny that we had Auld Lang Syn at 10pm! That’s what they do for old folk!! Lol.
