Here’s a novel idea for offenders. Dye thief’s hands bright red for 6 months so that everyone they come into contact with know that they are handy with their hands or a year in prison if they don’t fancy the idea. Violent offenders, dye their faces bright red for a year or offer an alternative of 1 year in prison for each punch/kick. Drink and drug drivers, dye their faces bright green for their ban duration. Watch the offending rates plummet to almost zero inside of a year.
What is the issue with that woman from Leed street. She is a total joke and should get her face painted Green… scum!
