Why is a crime such as this treated so leniently, even when someone dies from it? It is a conscious decision to drink drive.

Political correctness misdeamers and a buffoon of a PM upsetting a few snow flakes, call for everything from the sack to the death penalty.
Society has placed crimes like this on the slap on the wrist shelf. Yet upset someone with words and there's hell to pay.
Your reaction confirmed it.
It’s not ‘codswallop’ at all. You may have a point about the severity of punishment handed out to ‘drink drivers’...I’m not arguing about that.

You may have a point about ‘celebrities’ being treated differently to more ordinary offenders, although I think that’s a two way street and actually when ‘celebrities’ - however local - are involved it immediately becomes more newsworthy.

You do not have any sort of point, imo, when it comes to comparing incidents like this with what you perceive as ‘political correctness’. There is obviously going to be an enquiry and my reaction has confirmed nothing except that you will attempt to make political capital out of just about anything.
