Well a start would be to stop jailing people for nicking bottles of water, and here's a thought. How about not giving someone 4 years for posting on facebook.
It's a shambles. Most of the govt's strategy is geared towards cuts, including the prisons. And just as they're implementing this they instruct judge fuckin dread to lock people up for picking their arses. Except this flies in the face of the secretary of states's comments last year when he stated 'prison is not effective', when preping the way for massive cuts, including closing prisons.
Maybe if they concentrated efforts on sorting out the country first, such as the economy and youth unelmployment, then we could look at what they're doing re prisons etc. And as for the secretary of state for justice to simply fuck right off again on hols in the midst of the current shambles, well, what can be said?
It is the tories after all. You know, the same party that is still trying, after over 20 years, to cover Thatcher's back re Hillsborough.
