Judge accuses phone-smuggling mother-of-four of getting pregnant again to avoid prison... then gives her a suspended sentence anyway!
A judge accused a mother of getting pregnant again to avoid prison in an extraordinary blast over her failure to use contraception. Tanya Parker, 36, helped smuggle steroids, mobile phones and tobacco into a jail six years ago as part of her crook husband David Bradley's plan while he was in jail himself. But the pair's sentencing hearing took an unexpected twist as barrister Cathlyn Orchard, defending Parker, confirmed the defendant was between six to seven weeks pregnant. Visibly astonished Judge Dean Kershaw replied: "Are you seriously telling me that? Knowing the position these two are in, she's pregnant again?" He continued: "She understands there's something called contraception, having a child knowing the position both of them are in." Ms Orchard, who had stated the pregnancy was 'unplanned', replied saying that contraception 'doesn't always work' prompting the judge to question as to whether Parker had used any – and suggest that she was attempting to 'manipulate' the sentencing process. The court heard the couple, from Coventry, West Midlands, already have four children together and were childhood sweethearts. The barrister said: "I haven't gone into that detail. She is not wanting to be pregnant and she is conflicted in saying that because she is going to keep the child. It couldn't have come at a worse time." Judge Kershaw responded at the hearing on Thursday: "It all smacks to me it is another thing she is mentioning to avoid custody.' After briefly speaking with Parker in the dock Ms Orchard told the court: "She wasn't taking the pill and doesn't know why. "It wasn't to try and get pregnant or to manipulate." In reply Judge Kershaw said: "What did she possibly think - having had children - happens? That some angel would come down and stop her getting pregnant? "It looks to me she is trying in some way to manipulate the process thinking this will be extra mitigation. It won't. It won't work with me." He went on to point out the numerous lies Parker had told about her involvement in the 2019 HMP Birmingham contraband racket and rejected a claim she was untruthful due to 'panic'. Judge Kershaw told Birmingham Crown Court he was not trying to 'tell people how to lead their lives privately, personally and sexually', but he added: "I am utterly shocked someone in her position could have allowed herself to be in that position she is in now." Ms Orchard went on to say Parker had been put under 'enormous pressure' and placed in an 'impossible situation' at the time by Bradley, who she had been with since the age of 16. He had been remanded in custody at the time for a number of domestic and commercial burglaries, which involved ripping ATM machines from walls. Bradley was later handed lengthy terms of imprisonment. In his sentencing remarks Judge Kershaw took a further swipe at Parker's life choices and said: "It's not for me to comment but you were in a relationship with someone you knew who was a man who had chosen in 2018 to go into people's homes and steal. "You have chosen that's someone you want to be with and you have children." He added: "You chose your relationship over the safety of the prison. That's the reality of what happened." Ultimately, he decided not to jail Parker concluding 'the public do not need protection from you'. Parker admitted two offences of conspiring to convey prohibited articles into prison. She was sentenced to an 18-month community order with 100 hours of unpaid work and 30 days of rehabilitation activity. Judge Kershaw concluded Bradley, aged 34, had abused his partner's loyalty, adding he was the 'leading light' of the scheme. But he took into account he had already served a lengthy term behind bars and had shown he could 'lead a good and productive' life since his release in October. Bradley, who admitted the same two offences as his wife as well as a charge relating to having a phone in prison, was sentenced to 24 months suspended for 18 months. He was ordered to carry out 160 hours of unpaid work and 30 days of rehabilitation activity. The couple had used corrupt prison guard Christopher Lawley to physically smuggle the contraband into HMP Birmingham. The 43-year-old of Bexley Grove, West Bromwich had admitting three offences of conveying or conspiracy to convey prohibited articles into prison. He was sentenced to two years and two months at hearing in May this year.

Glastonbury says chants by Bob Vylan ‘crossed the line' as police assess footage
Glastonbury Festival has said chants by punk duo Bob Vylan have 'crossed a line', as footage from their set is assessed by the police. The performer Bobby Vylan led crowds on the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of 'Death, death to the IDF' on Saturday, before a member of Irish rap trio Kneecap suggested fans 'start a riot' at his bandmate's forthcoming court appearance. A joint Instagram post from Glastonbury and Emily Eavis said: 'As a festival, we stand against all forms of war and terrorism. 'With almost 4,000 performances at Glastonbury 2025, there will inevitably be artists and speakers appearing on our stages whose views we do not share, and a performer's presence here should never be seen as a tacit endorsement of their opinions and beliefs. 'However, we are appalled by the statements made from the West Holts stage by Bob Vylan yesterday. 'Their chants very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the Festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence.' Health Secretary Wes Streeting said chants of 'death' to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) at Glastonbury were 'appalling' and that the BBC and festival have 'questions to answer'. As police examine videos of their comments, Mr Streeting told Sky News' Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips: 'I thought it's appalling, to be honest, and I think the BBC and Glastonbury have got questions to answer about how we saw such a spectacle on our screens.' He said what people should be talking about in the context of Israel and Gaza is the humanitarian catastrophe and the fact that Israeli settlers attacked a Christian village this week. He added: 'The fact that we saw that chant at a music festival, when there were Israelis at a similar music festival who were kidnapped, murdered, raped, and in some cases still held captive, whether it's a Palestinian or an Israeli, whether it's a Christian, a Jew or a Muslim, all life is precious. 'All life is sacred. And I find it pretty revolting we've got to a state in this conflict where you're supposed to sort of cheer on one side or the other like it's a football team.' Asked if the BBC should have cut the live feed, he said the broadcaster has questions to answer, but that he did not know what the editorial and operational 'challenges' are of taking such action. Avon and Somerset Police said video evidence would be assessed by officers 'to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation'. On social media, the Israeli Embassy said it was 'deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival'. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch called the scenes 'grotesque', writing on X: 'Glorifying violence against Jews isn't edgy. The West is playing with fire if we allow this sort of behaviour to go unchecked.' The Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) said it would be formally complaining to the BBC over its 'outrageous decision' to broadcast Bob Vylan. A spokesperson said: 'Our national broadcaster must apologise for its dissemination of this extremist vitriol, and those responsible must be removed from their positions.' A BBC spokesperson added: 'Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. 'During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand.' Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has spoken to the BBC director general about Bob Vylan's performance, a Government spokesperson said. Bob Vylan, who formed in Ipswich in 2017, have released four albums with their music addressing issues to do with racism, masculinity and class. Kneecap, who hail from Belfast, have been in the headlines after member Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence. In reference to his bandmate's forthcoming court date, Naoise O Caireallain, who performs under the name Moglai Bap, said they would 'start a riot outside the courts', before clarifying: 'No riots just love and support, and support for Palestine'. In the run-up to the festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset, several politicians called for the group to be removed from the line-up and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said their performance would not be 'appropriate'. During the performance, Caireallain said: 'The Prime Minister of your country, not mine, said he didn't want us to play, so f*** Keir Starmer.' He also said a 'big thank you to the Eavis family' and said 'they stood strong' amid calls for the organisers to drop them from the line-up.
