        How mental is this? Whatever happened to the commonsense rule that the more crime you commit, the more you go to jail. That's not racist.

        The bloke's puddled. Tougher sentencing is what's needed. He obviously has no thought for the victims of their crimes.

        This isn't due to a bias or racism BBC. You say it clearly yourself BAME children are 2x likely to grow up in a single parent household.

        Stop pushing equity, if you wanted to help these people show studies for ways to increase marriages and 2-parent households.

        Lammy the nut job If BAME stopped committing most stabbings, muggings, shootings and terrorism, then maybe they wouldn't be in prison much

        Suggesting "no comment" i/v is a decision made by offender! Obvs @DavidLammy hasn't spent time with the cops frustrated by duty solicitors

        The comparisons with population ratio don't prove there's a bias, although there might well be.

        More useful are the figures for whether those convicted of the same type of offence as white men are more likely to be sent to prison.
