Prisons

Biggles · 05 June 2006, 20:11

Does anyone know why the Government won't build more Prisons, to house our ever growing thieving, murdering, conniving, raping band of thugs.
Below is an extract from a news website:-
Two men jailed for the kidnap and murder of a British couple who were househunting in Spain have launched an appeal.

Venezuelans Jorge Real Sierra, 56, and his brother-in-law Jose Antonio Velazquez Gonzalez, 40, were jailed last month for more than 50 years each.

Now you don't see those sort of sentences handed out in the UK.

And I bet you the Spanish jail is a horrible hot overcrowded place full of all sorts of nasty people and bugs.

We could sure do with some of that over here.

Rule Brittania.

Yes, but to be fair, Nick, so is Dukes nightclub in Chelmsford on a Saturday evening, but it doesn't stop the local peasants queuing up to get in

Agreed. The problem is going to get worse in my opionion, as the current band of baby chavs grow up. I was astonished the other day - I dropped a £10 on the floor. A chav girl ran over picked it up and legged it! Whats more this was on the road outside my own house!! Got it all on CCTV and phoned the police (I was seriosly pissed off). They came over and spotted the girl in the village. The most they could do it write a letter to her parents.

I think at the age of 19 I've turned into a grumpy old man. Oh well.

Just read the Tories are going to try to undo the road chaos labour has caused. Turning left at red lights if clear - putting speed limits back up etc etc - not to mention getting rid of speed cameras and road humps!!!

They get my vote for that alone - kick out all the people who shouldn't be here as well and get rid of Political Correctness and I will be a happy chappy!!!

Oh and stop Britain turning into a Police State!!!

Yer right!

Me and a friend were doing a world tour of Portsmouth, Oxford and Essex the other day. We spent the 650 mile day discussing the finer points of British politics, and we decided the only way forward is for the "people" to create their own policatal party which actually makes changes. The main parties are all too simialar and afriad of change to actually sort out the problems with this country.

Ditto on the vote-but a filter arrow that goes on while on red would be a much better idea. There's too many idiots there that'll use it as excuse not to look otherwise.

Good choices - I think we also need a minister for Language - it is defenCe unless you happen to live the other side of the pond!!!

I think that the return of Enoch Powel as home secretary is called for... and while on the resurrection theme could we have Alan Clark back as minister for fun.

..and how about a Minister for the rationing of exclamation marks…as a sub-division of the Ministry of language……..or what about a Minister for putting capital letters in the right place ....?

Limey Linda · 06 June 2006, 17:32

Nah. Bring back John Cleese as Minister of Funny Walks

They tried that in 1900 - it was called the 'Labour Party' . Sadly it disappeared from the UK political scene around 1997.

Whichever party holds the reins it seems they both go potty after the second term. It certainly doesn't help any argument that long-term office is good for stability.
