as usual in this country they'll probably get off lightly. jail isnt half as bad as it should be, and community service isnt punishment at all. i did 120 hours community service in 2001, it was fun, i liked it. thats wrong, how can punishment be fun. probation is also pointless, what difference can meeting some stranger once a week or month make, its inconvenient but hardly punishment.
when i lived in dubai my friend's dad used to leave his car keys in the ignition almost every day and night. the only people who stole it were me and my friend for the occasional cruise. people dont steal cars in dubai (except russian mafia for export) because you get severe punishment. the jails are very bad places to be and you can still get your hand chopped off for theft. thats the way it should be, if there's no punishment there will be no deterrent.
i remember in dubai (well hatta near dubai) a old man was caught by his family drinking aftershave. they stoned him to death and that was considered an acceptible thing for the family to do. i also remember when a scottish guy was sentenced to death for possesion of cannabis, it was a small amount but they have a zero tolerance to drugs. he would have been publicly executed if the british embassy hadn't arranged for him to be deported. i also remember when a philipina housemaid was executed because she bit the dick of her arab employer when he tried to rape her. these are all cases where the middle east legal system is fuct up. i think somewhere inbetween our way and their way would be the best. we need to be more strict over here before things get out of hand, although its too late already IMO.
i work full time and im always amazed when i have a day off and walk around my town centre. there are so many kids pushing prams and unemployed scruffs wandering around drunk spending their 'giro', there's heroin addicts all over the place eyeing up my car or offering to sell me a stereo or sub or amp. IM PAYING FOR THIS SCUM TO LIVE! it makes me so mad. we need better laws and fewer benefits. the number of times i've heard people say they're better off on benefits than in a job makes me sick. the number of mothers i see who havent even gone thorugh puberty is just wrong in so many ways. the number of times i've read newspaper stories about criminals getting a slap on the wrist even if its their 20th offence. what the hell is going on?
i know one thing for sure, im moving abroad again as soon as possible. this country is a sinking ship and i dont want to swim in the crap that'll be left over. i've already been approved for a permanent residency visa in australia, all i need is a job over there and im gone. i suggest anyone who's able should join me. let the scum have england, its crap and it rains all day, see how long they survive without the taxpayer.
rant over
