For years now, successive British governments have been reducing prison sentences or finding ingenious reasons and excuses for letting convicted criminals out of prison without serving their full term behind bars.
Prison can no longer be called a punishment or a deterrent!
Violent crime is going up. Theft is going up. Criminal damage is going up.
And so is every other type of crime you can think of.
And now,of all things, there are calls for the restoration of the death penalty.
Why, for God's sake, does anyone want the death penalty re-instated when the courts (and the politicians) are only going to punish other crimes with a slap on the wrist?
TV footage of the riots in London show young men (and some women) ... well, rioting obviously.
The same old "nothing to do" and "police insensitivity" arguments are being bandied about as usual, but at the end of the day there is no excuse for what they are doing.
They do what they do simply because they know there is no real punishments. Slapped wrists, fines, or suspended sentences ... that's all that most of them will get.
Lock the buggers up for a long bleeding time.
Increase sentences for all crime.
And other stuff like that.
There you go ... rant over. I'm going to have my dinner now!

Quick Word: The Student Pain
The recent violent demonstrations have left me cold to the students of this country and their plight.
And, when all is said and done, very few of them will ever pay back their student loans anyway.
Those students convicted of any sort of violence or destruction of property should be immediately excluded from whichever university they attend. Lock 'em up and throw away the key.
And the press doesn't help! The way they report it, the police are to blame for EVERYTHING! Either they didn't do enough, they did too much or they were the instigators of the violence. They can't win whatever they do, but some of them still end up in hospital!
The sad thing is that some of these ba$tards are going to end up running this country or it's industries!
(My views are a little extreme perhaps, but I'm sick to death of all their whining and whinging)
