unfortunately, the good police work is often let down by ineffective court sentencing, and the stable door never stays shut long enough to stop the donkeys wandering back out to cause more damage.

Re: a silly billyearlier
Problem in so many countries now.
The punishment does not fit the crime.
But this guy, obviously interested in materials.
12 months and sewing mail bags in side.

Well thats about the truth of it lewis......but looking back at my best mate in shields who was caught sadly nicking pigeons for the second time was sent of to borstal for 3 years in the mid 50s ....these pieces of crap need a bloody good tawsin ....who knows what he will get ....likely a slapped wrist...if his benefits were halved ...and he was promised 5 years for his next offence well he might just think a little bit ..cappy

Re: a silly billyearlier
There in lies the problem, judges are going soft on the crims.
So many casers now where the punishment no way reflects the crime, then of course the cry of 'mental illness'.
If the figures are true then just about all crims now suffer from it, that and, 'he came from a broken home.
Well your honor, is that why he was caught breaking into my clients house?
