Convicted Judge Storms out of Court

A judge swore and stormed out of court when she was convicted of failing to control her dangerous dog.

Judge Beatrice Bolton, of Rothbury, Northumberland, strode out when the verdict was announced, branding the decision "a f****** travesty".

Bolton, 57, was found guilty by a judge sitting at Carlisle Magistrates' Court of allowing her pet German Shepherd to bite 20-year-old Frederick Becker, her neighbour. She was fined £2,500 and ordered to pay £275 compensation to the victim, plus £930 court costs and a £15 surcharge.

District Judge Gerald Chalk said the case had been proved, adding: "We take the view that this is a case which does justify a financial penalty. Mr Becker was not only put in fear but was actually injured by the dog in question."

Bolton, who was asked by the court usher during the two-day-trial to stop chewing gum, had denied a single charge under the Dangerous Dogs Act.

She was labelled "the neighbour from Hell" by Mr Becker's parents David and Anne Malia.

The Malias and Bolton lived in adjoining properties and had been friends for years, but their relationship soured over the rights to the homes' shared back gardens and the behaviour of Bolton's dog - an animal the family claimed they were living "in terror" of.

A spokesman for the Judicial Office for England and Wales said the Lord Chief Justice and the Lord Chancellor would be considering Bolton's position as a judge.

Speaking outside the court, Judge Bolton said: "I'm absolutely devastated by this conviction. I have always sought to do what was right in relation to my neighbours and was very conscious of my public position and tried very hard for it not to be said that I was abusing such a position."

Asked whether she regretted her foul-mouthed outburst in court, she said: "This has been a terrible, terrible strain on me which I have tried to bear for the sake of my family, but everyone has their limit at which they cannot control themself. I above all else would never disrespect a court."

This was the judge who let my Neighbour from Hell perpetrator

off at a Crown Court trial after she had issued Death Threats.

Seems there may have been an affinity there right from the start.

But....if you wait long enough...what goes around ...comes around !!!!!

Let's start at the very beginning.............

........It's a very good place to start!

I moved to the North East of England in June 2002 and little did I know I would be entering into the Lion's Den.
The Lion in question being Tony Blair, at that time the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and chief proposer of the Anti-Social Behaviour Order.
The flagship of an act of parliament that was brought in to reduce crime and disorder.
However, in the kingdom of Sedgefield where Tony reigned supreme and unchallenged, ASBO's were seldom used.

But Tony had vision with his policy and of course in the kingdom of the blind the one-eyed man is king!

Sedgefield Borough Council's website tells the world that it takes matters of antisocial behaviour very seriously, however until they were taken to task over their failure to accept and help a Sedgefield Borough Council tax payer (at that time Sedgefield Council tax was the highest in UK), not only did they have no policy on ASB (anti-social behaviour) they didn't even have a dedicated ASB officer to deal with complaints.

So nobody complained and people suffered.

Thus, the ignorance and the misery continued on in Sedgefield Constituency, on and on and on...... until one person said

'Enough is Enough'.....that person was me!

That was when the trouble really started!!!!

The Lonely Planet's Guide

The British Empire's sun may have set, but England's history lives on.

England has always been thought of as a gentile, afternoon tea oasis, freeze-framed in the 50's.

Home to the local Post Office, the village pub, and cricket on the green.

From Stonehenge to Buckingham Palace, from Eton to Oxford, English history and heritage is full of cherished icons of past times.

But England has another side, its vibrant shopping precincts, its great nightlife and tourist attractions by the score. All this is contrasted with green and pleasant countryside.

A tourist's mecca full of all the panache and creativity that Fashion, the Arts, Fine Dining has to offer along with Designer shopping and a Club scene that ranks among the best in the world.

Welcome to the Lonely Planet's Guide to.............. Cornforth

BB GUNS AND THE LAW IN THE UK ~ EXCEPT CORNFORTH WHERE THE LAW APPEARS NOT TO BE APPLIED.

Airsoft BB Guns and UK Law You do not need a licence to own the low power airsoft and bb guns. However, you should be aware of the following:
It is an offence to carry a replica gun in a public place without permission, whether it can fire or not.
It is an offence for an airgun to be given to a person under 17. However, 14-16 year olds can use them on private land under responsible supervision, as long as they have the landowner's permission and shooting takes place solely inside the land's boundary.
It is an offence to cause fear or distress to other people by displaying BB Guns. Bear in mind that if the police are called they will assume the gun is real, and you could put yourself in danger. So it is best not to carry or possess them in a public place

The Mindless Menace of Violence

For Freedom

We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.

We must remember always that accusation is not proof......and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law.

We will not walk in fear, of one of another.

We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason......if we dig deep in our history and doctrine......and remember that we are not descended from fearful men......not from men who feared to write, to associate, to speak......and to defend the causes that were for the moment unpopular.

This is no time for men ........to keep silent, or for those who approve of wrongdoing.

We can deny our heritage and our history......but we cannot escape responsibility for the results.

We proclaim ourselves, indeed as we are......the defenders of freedom wherever it continues to exist in the world......but we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it .......at home.
