One even stopped to chat to a beggar and gave him money!
I thought if you go to court and you’re guilty, you are going to be shaken and devastated.
Not these days!
Their sentences are a joke and they are a joke.
Police numbers too. I'm just watching a documentary about assaults on police, which are greatly on the increase.
Treason May reduced police numbers by over 20,000. A person being interviewed announced proudly that changes are in place to increase police numbers by 2,000 including PCs, PCSOs and ancillary staff!
The immortal words were spoken: "Just what can we do about this problem?"
They seem not to have a clue.
I could tell them exactly what can be done about it. Not that it would ever happen, of course.
I believe the authorities not only haven't a clue, but they also don't really give a toss.

Most of the EU police carry guns. Why can't ours?

Re: Is There a Breakdown of Respect?
When it comes to prison sentences although I've never been banged up in the UK I've got a few old mates who have, there's one doing a ten year stretch right now.From what I've heard/learned the "holliday camp" stories are far from accurate, certainly not in the case of category A places.
Cat C are no places of comfort either though I believe that Cat D (open prisons) are more comfortable but still far from being holiday camps. Young Offenders Institutions are totally different though but I've no idea what life inside of them is like other than they seem to be like Borstals of old but sadly without the brutality.
I can't begin to imagine being banged up for years so I sorta think that even just (?) a six month stretch must be one hell of a lot worse than it appears to us on the outside.

Re: Is There a Breakdown of Respect?
I've never noticed a breakdown in respect within the prison systems - I've a friend recently come out - there is a high level of 'respect' within the prison system in OZ - but it comes with its own definition - respect our get hurt - I can remember my father slapping my legs painfully because I was disrespecting him?07-05-2021, 02:39 PM
