IS anyone else totally fed up with the pathetic sentences handed down for the most appalling crimes?
Under successive governments human life itself has become cheap.
What is needed is to put out to pasture the out of touch judges and magistrates and import American replacements.
More prisons will have to be built (not holiday camps with bars) where the inmates can receive basic food and liquids.
Wouldn’t it be nice to read about 99 year sentences, without parole, for a change?
Most of all we need politicians with the guts to make it happen (but I am not holding my breath).
