| #10 Yup, seems Tony's out to placate the loony-left which is still present but has had to shut its mouh to help the Labour Party maintain credibility at the polls. With an election looming I expect more of the same(fox hunting ban etc...). A 'cop-killer' only did 9 years recently... a joke - I have tried to source this but can't - Bulldog will tell me off I'm sure. |

| #9 "We get a full life sentence, so why shouldn't they?" -shit, 15 years isn't nearly enough for these assholes. Killers either get life in prison or the death penalty imho. There is no rehab for this type of crime. 15 years is an insult and 7 years is an absolute joke. WTF is wrong w/some people. Even a rabid dog has to be put down. |

| #8 Howard: Is Blair Blair placating the touchy-feely wing of the Labour Party in order to get them to bash him less on Iraq? |

| #6 We put murderers out of society for a reason. Until something is done to restore the death penalty, the respite is only temporary. |

| #5 Shit, I'd pay more tax if it put more police on the beat and sorted schools out... doesn't seem to be. The increased tax spent on the NHS appears to be working - I get treatment much more quickly and at a higher standard than I did 5 years ago. |

| #4 All this talk of the appropriate sentencing for premeditated murder could be solved at a stroke if mandatory life without the possibility of parole was implemented. There is no less appropriate punishment. The idea of releasing murderers early to save money attracts the same sort of moron who believes that taxing people more will make our lives better. We put murderers out of society for a reason. We think it's worth the cost. Of course, there's another way to save money and keep mudrers away from polite society, and shorten sentences... It looks more and more attractive when the judiciary seem intent on giving offenders as easy a life as possible. |
