        Maybe if this bloody government concentrated on the rising crime rate in this country instead of squabbling over brexit Britain might be a safer place

        Shocking! I am so sad. People are scared. Gang members weaponised and ready to kill anyone anytime.

        Bring back the death penalty. Then there wouldn't be as many murders.

        America has the death penalty and a very harsh justice system, and their murder rate is very high by Western standards.

        So you think it's ok to give them full board and lodgings an easy life with no Bill worries and be out in 12 years or so? You are the type who feel sorry for the low life who murder. I bet you would see it different it was one of your family

        The death penalty has never been demonstrated to prevent a single murder versus other, more humane, forms of justice such as whole life sentences. Furthermore it is actually more expensive, due to the legal processes required to execute someone.

        It won't prevent a murder that has already been committed. I would agree with life but only if it meant LIFE. And not to treat them like they are in a hotel. Should be like the American penal system
