I fought the law and randy andy won
First class tw@T
Ur such a loser get a job smelly
As someone who has just come out of the probation service after 24years ,it’s only going to get worse when I started there were 36 in our area dealing with clients and about 14 juniors ,now it is 12 and 2 trainees but more work load
Well, part of the problem with the system is referring to these criminals as clients.
Agreed and more work load is more process and paperwork and less face to face help and advice to divert from crime in future. This government is obsessed with process and assessment/Review statistics etc , not interested in actually changing lives, same in health ( most times when a news report on nurses they are all huddled around computer screens logging, looking for next job and evidencing the work they done) Social Work and Teaching. If these were a business they would of gone bankrupt or no customers.
Well said…………
I agree with what you are saying, but crime pays handsomely, so from the get go they were never interested in “diversion from crime”. most people who go through probation are only there to keep their freedom, theres still an element of fear for some but for most they go to probation tick the boxes that want to be heard and go back to wherever they were. My observation is that there isnt much going in the economy so what’s the point, may as well drink and be merry. Just to be clear, I am not condoning actions that warrant probation but I am pointing out something to which has not yet been. Can we truly deter crime? Is it just burned into our nature? I say bring the led ball back, humanely but with intent.
Those on warrant when found should be locked up until New Year as consequence for breaching the law and wasting our tax money on police, courts, legal aid etc. Seems that crime pay’s as little to no consequence. No wonder so many young people now getting into crime/gangs etc . Very hard times ahead.
Classy lot NOT.
People need to grow up and act their age.
Some people also need to stop using that cringy, Americanism “NOT”.
Ur a very strange person are u ok
Where’s my dog anyone see it
Why was Glenroy’s sentence set to run concurrently, instead of consecutively ? This is no punishment.
