no it isnt fair child molestation should be life. i am glad you acknowlege that you deserved a long prison sentence, as drugs do as much physical and pshycological damage as any other crime and should not be treated any less serious, drugs destroy lives just as much. thank you for raising an interesting story and for being so open about yourself

I dont get it at all, I was reading the paper a while a go there was an article about a young 17 year old who had just passed his driving test was speeding lost control of his car and crashed killing a 16 year old girl who was with him, now the way i see it he had passed his test the car was taxed and tested it was just a horrible accident as he was probably showing off to the girl Im sure he feels full of remorse (anyway) he was given 3 years.
In the same paper there was an asylum seeker who had not passed his test was driving a car (DRUNK!) with no tax insurance or mot, he went through a red light and killed a young mother on a pedestrian crossing guess how long he got 3 months and a one year ban
WHAT IS GOING ON!!! this guy clearly did not care about any of the rules he probably did not feel any remorse, if you go out in your car drunk and run someone down you should be done for murder!! but no he probably walked away a few weeks later not bothered about the driving ban as he never adheared to the fact that he didnt have a license in the first place.
Obviously both crimes are terrible and people died but the way i see it the young lad deserved less punishment than the asylum seeker who clearly should have been put away for life.
the world has gone MAD!!!

Yeah isn't that just total B.S. The way the law is these days in most states is that they will give you more time in jail for drugs/narcotics than someone who raped somebody. They definitly need harsher laws when it comes to more serious crimes like murder, rape, etc. It is also B.S. in the way that if a person murders someone it costs more money to actually execute a criminal than it does to have them spend life in prison. Just because of the court hearings and procedures. All the criminal has to do is raise the "temporary insanity flag" and be "rehabilitated" and they won't get as much punishment.

No the problem is that people are being punished for minor offences and there sentences are worse than a major offence. Wheres the justice, you got 3 years yet the reason why that pervert got 6 months because there was no room, you had his cell. That's were we are going wrong. prisons are full and yes criminals should be punished but within reason.

No it is not fair!
The sentencing in the U.K. is wrong.
There should be a minimum/maximum sentence, IE say for drugs it could be 2/5 years. Out in 2 years should the habit be broken.
If found using drugs inside you get the maximum 5 years.
Peadophiles, no min/max for them 25 years hard labour!

No, none of it is fair. The sentencing in this country is a joke, however all the bleeding heart liberals refuse to allow us to treat prisoners as they should be. Frankly, I don't have a problem taking away the rights of convicted sex offenders, drug dealers and murderers. Prison is supposed to be a punishment.

no it is not fair, id like to view the judges hard drives, as giving out such leniant sentences to the most vile human beings (paedo's) must mean they can sympathise with the sick fcuk's. unfortunately we live in a country where old women get locked up for not paying council tax, whilst convicted paedo's get houses so they can hide and prey on unsuspecting victims

No they aren't fair. They should all be much more harsh.
If, at the end of the day, you can't abide by the laws which act as the foundation for a decent society - you shouldn't be part of that society.

Sometimes they are, but sometimes definitely not. I also think there should be a new way of dealing with cases that are dismissed due to a jury not being able to come to a decision!
