Boris blasts 'two-tier justice' for letting out violent criminals & banging up Twitter cranks

BORIS Johnson blasted the Government for “freeing paedophiles from jail while locking up numbskulls who say stupid stuff on Twitter”. The former PM called for tougher sentences for sex offenders like ex-BBC newsreader Huw Edwards. He said: “What they’re doing is feeding a trade that dehumanises and gravely, gravely injures the most vulnerable people.” Asked on Never Mind The Ballots if he believed there is two-tier policing in this country, Mr Johnson said: “I certainly think people need to look at some of the priorities.” Labour releasing criminals to ease prison overcrowding was “not the right thing to do”. He went on: “Particularly if you are then banging up people, nutters, for saying the odd thing on Twitter. Those do not seem to be the right priorities for the criminal justice system.” Read more: The Sun delivers breaking news, latest gossip and incredible exclusives around the
