It's good to see that His Honour Judge Paul Worsley, Q.C., only recently appointed as a Judge (and a good friend of mine) has shown his Yorkshire commonsense and handed down a weighty sentence to these scumbags.

Marc. Well you can tell your good friend that I for one object to the fact that a lot more money is now going to be spent on these scumbags having a thorough education in every other type of crime. If you took your head out of the pages of the Daily Mail once in a while you might discover that, in the real world, PRISON DOESN'T WORK. Brian. |

Indeed, this does appear to be true - though it depends on your concept of what a prison is for. Graffiti scum should be birched, hard. That's what they do in Singapore, and it does work, remember all the hue and cry a few years ago when they were going to birch an American boy who thought he was above their laws? They have very little anti-social behaviour, simply because they punish those who try it, in a harsh, painful, way. It's quick, cheap, and doesn't cause any significant lasting damage. Far better that sending them to a cushy jail where as you say, they just learn how to do more crimes while enjoying all the "rights" we insist on giving them, and costing about 12k a year (or is it 20k?) per prisoner to run. -- - DJ Pyromancer, The Sunday Goth Social, Leeds. http://www.sheepish.net Broadband, Dialup, Domains = http://www.wytches.net = The UK's Pagan ISP! http://www.inkubus-sukkubus.co.uk http://www.revival.stormshadow.com |

wrote this:- Graffiti scum should be birched, hard. Not allowed, I forget the reason why. However, it might be worth glueing these scumbags to the front of a train and taking them for a ride they are unlikely to forget, perhaps between London and some place an hour or so away. They might not be keen to repeat such an experience. There would be some danger in this, but probably no more than they expose themselves to when they carry out their "artistic" activities. Provided passengers at the intermediate stations were warmed beforehand the majority would probably enjoy the spectacle. Even more of a punishment for the "artists" might be the fact that others would laugh at them, especially when they were being attached and removed from the train. -- David Hansen, Edinburgh I will *always* explain revoked encryption keys, unless RIP prevents me http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/00023--e.htm#54 |

You just harden people like that by giving them the birch. We have whole areas of the country where the gun is king and people cary them knowing that to do so shortens their own life expectancy to mid 20s if they are lucky, and you expect them to respect the birch. Kids these days are savages. Lock them up, throw the key away, pretend that it will make them better people. It wont! Brian. |
