"More motorists are sent to prison than burglars"

discuss.

 

"If you steal a car then drive it slowly" is the message i'm taking away
with me[1]


[1] with consent.

 

I doesn't offer a break-down of what the drivers were sent to prison
for - I'm /hoping/ it's mostly drink-driving, or repeated no-insurance
etc.

 

Life is cheap. Houses, particularly in the South East, cost lots of
money.

 

The "world's gone mad" example the Standard were presenting the other night
was of a drunk driver who was banned for 12 months and repeatedly drove
while banned, and without insurance. He was sent before the beak 3 times
IIRC before they sent him for a spell as Mr-Big-on-D-wing's new wife

 

Andrew Neil used that to bash a government minister on the BBC's This Week.
Mildly amusing as the minister was out of his depth. He was from Transport
and was not prepared to comment on Neil's accusations about speed cameras,
revenue collection and policing.

The minister did not give a breakdown of the figures to say how many were
in for non payment of fines compared to serious offences such as
manslaughter.

The Tories, as ever, shot themselves in the foot by wheeling out the
vacuous John Redwood as Transport spokesperson.

 

I suspected that might be the sort of thing.

I've no real problem with that sort of fuckwit being "sent down".

 

HE BLOODY DESERVE IT, THAT BLOODY DRUNK DRIVER!

 

no typos: 6/10.

 

Magistrates. Especially lay benches. Oh and Lord Woolfe.

Beside, with a housing shortage and overpopulation you know it makes sense
