here begins a rant :lol:
i know of 3 people now who have been to court and convicted of crimes and as part of their probation they have been offered either a free training and work programe, one of them starts an aprenticeship doing plumbing next week no doubt subsidised by the government!
it's like at school when the really bad trouble makers would get a trip out somewhere for the day for being well behaved for a week while the rest of us were stuck doing maths!
i get they do it so these people get a job, lead a normal life and don't re-offend but when there's so many decent hard working men and women out there who can't find work it just doesn't seem fair!
wasnt going to mention it but i will, one of the 3 i mentioned is a lad who stole my car! he got a ban driving even though he was already banned after stealing his mothers car countless times, i thought he would of at least been ordered to pay me something for my losses, but he wasn't, yet a friend of mine got accused of hitting his girlfriend and he was ordered to pay here £300 in compensation.
wonder if it's too late to appeal against his sentance, or if that can even be done :idea:
RANT OVER
