The £5m for Dale Cregan trial, an incredible 120 police officers was due to the criminal families in attendamce and on trial. Other offenders were also convicted to very long sentences. Some of the worst crime families in Britain. Part of the trial was the rival gangland killing of the Shorts so you had some of fhe worst rival crime families heading up the M61 together plus Cregan and the other criminals in prison vans.

My own view is that life in jail is a tougher sentence than escaping via death row.
In different times that might be the case Graham, but when you weigh up the cost of keeping scum like this in prison for life, in Cregan's case could be over 50 years, the cost to the taxpayer is extortionate. So once again we find our MP would not listen to his constituents, a big majority of people would support the return of the death penalty for these violent criminals who commit these atrocities, yet you would not support that, may be if it became Labour Party policy you would or would have too
