Out in 18 months? and then what? a holiday in America to give them time to adjust?

Our country is a bag of boll-ocks where the law is concerned, what ever happened to life meaning life, or make an example of them?

Bring back hanging and swing the lot of em...

Mind you, at least they didnt get away with an ASBO.

Don't be silly. It was only "yobbish and stupid behaviour".

Absolutely. You'd think the judge was dealing with some kids guilty of a little horse play. I thought stupid behaviour was larking about, getting into mischief. Seems it means manslaughter/murder nowadays.

Outrage-Meter ... off the clock.

I see this is so many areas ... the Magistracy and Judiciary utterly failing to reflect Society's perceptions of what is really BAD.

From today's local paper [OK, we don't know the full story]

1. Possessing 2 firearms at home = fined £150

2. Failing to produce Driving License & Insurance, and 50mph in a 40mph limit = fined £360.
3. Driving carelessly = £600.
4. Driving whilst holding a mobile 'phone = £100.
5. Grave and Criminal Assault = £450. And, for spitting in the street a month previously, "bound over for 12 months".
6. Driving without insurance = £400.

I get bemused, I really do.

What p*sses me off is that time on remand is taken off their sentences automatically

No, fair do's ... they've been locked up already.
i have no problem with that.

The real bu66er is when you've been locked up on remand, and then found "Not Guilty". How do you compensate for that? Even if you never dropped the soap?

They get compensation for everything these days, so why not for the time in doors before the 'not guilty'. No this time should not be taken off any sentenceing as they already get a 3rd off their sentence for 'good behaviour'!
