Really cutting down on knife crime it needs to be an instant prison sentence
Disqualified driver – given 6points?. Benefit fraud X2 – given 120hrs unpaid work and 12mth community order – was it for large amount?,many many more out there claiming PIP etc to fund drug habit and avoid work .
Seems to me if you are from the mainland you get hit hard, but if you are from the Island , it is a slap on the wrist.
Nope, you get hard hit if you’re hardworking and/or own a business – it’s wrong. Everyone should have the same treatment / fine. Why’s it fair that those already heavily contributing financially to society is having to pay even more. No incentive to work in this country anymore.
Van Praagh was the one smuggling Albanians into the country and was jailed a few years back – why not send him back to his cell if he’s not learned to abide by the law?
