WE would like to ask this government, especially John Reid, the home secretary, why the prisons are full to capacity. We think today's prisoners have cushy surroundings like four star hotels. We truly think there's no justice anymore like there was 50 years ago when there was the death penalty for killers of our police officers, etc. These tougher sentences for our criminals would empty our prisons. Get rid of all murderers who kill for fun. At the moment there's no justice.
That's the problem with our full prisons in this country, our justice systems are wrong. It wants changing quickly, with the old laws being brought back, the 50's tougher laws. We need to empty our prisons, that's the answer.
Let's tell those comedians in parliament to have a people's referendum, vote for capital punishment, bring back better environments, etc. Let's get tough. It's ludicrous at the moment.
