Our Island is being ruined by soft sentences creating growing numbers of low life.
Imported third world criminals vile disgusting crimes now make such non violent crime seem trivial, which it isn’t.
As many of the thrid world finest fill our jails to capacity, judges can’t even jail our OWN low life for meaningful lengths of time, even ‘IF’ they wanted too.
Anyone got a photo of him?
