Milly Dowler's killer will get a life without parole

Levi Bellfield has been sentenced to a life long prison sentence without any chance of getting parole.

When Levi Bellfield was asked to hear his sentence he refused to hear it, and he remained in prison while the judge said his verdict. Mr Justice Wilkie sentenced him to a life without parole and he also described him as a 'cruel and pitifull' killer that lacked the "courage to come into court to face his victims and receive his sentence".

Levi Bellfield is reasoned to be the first person ever charged with two life sentences he recieved one in 2008 when he was convicted of the murders of Amelie Delagrange, 22, Marsha McDonnell, 19, and the attempted murder of Kate Sheedy, and he recieved another life sentence for the murder of Milly Dowler. 


I would not even give this man the right to see the light of day with his own eyes, this man is an animal and should not be walking on this earth in the first place. I think it's good that he will spend his entire life in jail and that he will stay there for the remainder of his pitiful life. The man should suffer even more then his victims and their families have suffered, as this man is the trash of the world. What I still do not get is why he got out on a parole in the first place, as that should have obviously never happend. So I have lost a bit of my hope in the UK justice system, as obviously it had failed.

Dowlers attacking the justice system after the killer has been jailed for life

The family of Milly Dowler claims to have recieved justice, and unjust in court.



They recieved justice as the murder of their daughter has been sentenced to a life in jail, they also recieved unjust as they said their privacy and their feelings were severely hurt in court, especially after the question of the mother of Milly Dowler, her husband decribed it as ''Inhuman and cruel''.

The husband also commented of the trial itself being ''in favour of the perpetrator'', he also said that: ''Justice shouldn't have come at such a high price".

Due to how they were treated in court and with the feeling that the system failed they have launched an attack upon court itself.

 

I really feel sorry for this family and their loss, and the fact that they had do endure this pain of losing a family member like that over and over in court and then also being mistreated in court sickens me. People who have had such an emotional even in their lives should be treated with the greatest of respect and should be lended helping hands in anyway possible. Instead they were mistreated and they had to go through the death of little Milly over and over and over. I hope they win the trial vs the courtsystem but even if they win, I don't think their scars will ever fully heal.

Cyber fraudsters are exploiting the economic downturn

There are more fake online jobs, flats and festival tickets with each passing day with one target, to get your money.

At the moment there is a significant increase in the number of cyber fraudsters that are trying to make people pay for things that are not really there, especially the tickets for the festival season for this summer seems to be quite popular under the fraudsters. This increase is primairly due to the economic downturn which is making people wanting to buy items for a significantly lower price so they can save up money for the bills.

A 'phantom' flat is also one of the most prized valuables being sold by the fraudsters, as people assume they are purchasing a flat, which at the end doesn't seem to exist.

The government is warning the public to be on a constant lookout for these scammers.

It's a shame so many people abuse the internet for personal gain but it was to be expected, I think the government should invest more resources and time to make sure these scam artists will think twice before attempting to rob someone from his/her money. The public should also be a lot more careful with making online purchases of any kind as it currently seems they are making it quite easy for these scammers to rob you of your money. I do think the goverment is already showing some kind of incentive by warning the public of these scammers which is a step in the right direction, now they just have to take the next step.

Childcare costs are going up

The childcare costs have been rising tremendeously the last couple years, the fees are now up to 40 pounds a month in some areas. Parent that have children under the age of five seem to be hit the hardest as they have to pay twenty-four pounds a month more than they had a year ago.

There are still ways of coping with this increase as children between the age of 3 and 4 in England are eligible for a free, part-time early education place with a registered childcare provider there are no costs if the children are there for only 15 hours a week or less.

Currently 1.5 million families are paying for the childcare system


I think it's nice that these children have a place to go when their parents are busy working the entire day, yet I do think it's also good that they increased the prices as raising a child should be the job of the parents. Currently this seems to be the job of the people at the daycare as 1.5 million families are currently using this childcare system rather then taking a day off, or having 1 parent stay at home and look after the child. In my opinion, the childcare system should be only for those parents that reallu have no other choice, but those that have a choice should just stay at home and look after their child, that is if they care.

30 years of prison for double murder

A man of 41 years old named Neil Langmead, has murdered his estranged wife and friend. The women were found in Barnstaple, Devon,August last year.

The two were sexually assaulted and found death. During the trial of the convicted it became clear that Neil Langmead had a history of bullying his wife and that she was starting divorce proceedings.

The trail jury consisting out of nine women and three men rejected the version of mr Langmead that he has consensual sex with his wife what lead to an argument between the two women who became violent.

He stated that he has killed his wife out of self defense and that she killed her friend.

Two words, death penalty. This guy should definitly be punished with those two words and the fact that he lies about it and says it was self defense just makes me angry. The evidence does not lie, but it seems this man definitly decides to do so, people like this should never exist in the world, unfortunatly they do. The world is currently really filled with terrible people just like this guy, of only there was a medicine for these people and their mental illnesses!

Accounts locked of the Tesco Bank

Accounts locked of the Tesco Bank.

The banking system by Tesco crashed after moving the computers from the former partner RBS.

Many customers were not able to access their saving or other accounts.

The call centre was overfloaded with telephone calls and Tesco had difficulty in handling all those calls.

Tesco believes that this has a compatibility problem with its system, which can be very easily fixed if customers follow some instructions to re-set their browsers.

Many customers have been frustrated at both the computer lock-out and the inability of Tesco's call centre to deal with the big jump in calls.

I would be quite frustrated aswell if I would'nt be able to acces my bankaccount when I want to do so. I think it's a bit sloppy that something like this can happen as you would expect them to treat something this delecate with a bit more care, apperantly not these guys. Luckely I don't have my savings on this bank so hopefuly things like this will never occur to me! It does seem that they will have some new applications open soon though, as they were in great need of some extra people to pick up the phone to deal with all the complaints from the costumers.
