Shocking figures from a shocking government.
Have a very happy Christmas.
It is a problem of Labour's own making.
Over 3,000 new laws since 1997. If you create new laws, you create new criminals out of people who were previously law abiding citizens.
The sad thing is, the greater part of our society don't seem to care.
JW Dread, people do care about such issues. Tragically, for many people, it's far easier to move house than wait for politicians to fix the symptoms or even address the underlying issues.
Here's a radical idea, why do we not make prisons unpleasant places to be, then PERHAPS they would be a deterrent instead of a place to be given drugs, paid to play scrabble and play computer games!
Skyman, the only problem is that prisoners have rights too! I can't help thinking that for certain prisoners, life inside must be more comfortable than life outside!
