I totally agree with you. Pondgirl!!!

One of the reasons why the prison sentencing does not fit the crime. and assets are not seized is because there are too many do-gooder and PC people in the UK.  They are creating obstacles and raising time -wasting frivolous interventions, that the authorities  are bound by law to investigate. ::)

I personally think that prison should only be for violent crimes None violent criminals  should wear pink overalls and made to sweep the streets, but because of the PC brigade, who say it infringes their "Human Rights". These persons are banged up with violent criminals, and so the cycle is perpetuated. But that's another thread. ;)
