What a load of crap!

Our prison system is such over flowing that you can see regular cases of men having attacked people armed with bladed knives receiving 18 months to 2 year prison sentences ‘suspended’ for 2 years with a stupid community order. They laugh at that sentence because that is not a deterrent. They cannot simply jail them when they should be jailed.

The immigrant European population of jailed men is on the increase. Why not deport them hence where they came from?

The judicial system is Victorian and out dated and requires a shake up to bring it into the modern world and make the punishment fit the crime!
