A lot of support for Blackburn magistrate Austin Molloy both locally and across the nation.
There’s a Facebook page to show your support and here is the e mail address of Blackburn Courts if you would like to express a view
The Mayor of Darwen, Molloy’s home town , likes his style
“I believe in calling a spade a spade. I’m a down to earth person and a lot of people are fed up with political correctness.
“It’s pathetic he had to stand down. It’s political correctness gone mad again.”
I’ll second that….
My husband & I both fully agree with the Magistrate & wish that there were more people like him – It is about time the law got tough on crimes like these. The magistrates words echo our feelings exactly,& it is a sad reflection of our times
that the Magistrate has had to step down from his position for calling a spade a spade.
