how did a two year old have so many drugs
What two year old?
Look at the pathetic sentences for these scumbags. How can you get them paying compensation which it is less than they stole. Bring back borstal prisons and lock these dregs up.
Unbelievable these aren’t punishments most can’t even pay the costs what £5 a week out of their benefits for the next 2 years it’s a joke whats going on at the moment. It’s covid19 not let the criminals get away with whatever! I wish I only had to pay £85 court costs against the evil criminals I have had to fight against!
If only we had an empty prison on the island
Even the scummy drug dealers selling class a don’t get a custodial sentence. It’s a disgrace. They need locking up. Is it any wonder we have increasing crime, they know they won’t get sent down so they’re laughing their b*lls off.
