Johnson orders sentencing review for dangerous offenders | |
2019-08-13 | |
The focus on crime and other domestic issues before Britannia is due to leave the Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... an Union on Oct. 31 has fuelled speculation that Johnson is planning to call an election. The prime minister's office said on Sunday the review would focus on whether violent and sexual offenders were serving sentences that reflected the severity of their crimes. Johnson, who replaced Theresa May last month, said that to ensure confidence in the system, the punishment must truly fit the crime. "We have all seen examples of rapists and murderers let out too soon or people offending again as soon as they're released," he said in a statement. "This ends now. We want them caught, locked up, punished and properly rehabilitated." Johnson will host senior coppers and leaders from the probation and police services on Monday to discuss his plan. Earlier on Sunday he announced another 10,000 prison places, at a cost of 2.5 billion pounds ($3 billion), and said police would be given more powers to stop and search the public. | |

#3 You can't be serious. 'Properly rehabilitated' rapists and murderers ? Clearly he is serious about longer sentences, Dron66046. The rest is politically necessary boilerplate, I suspect. |

#2 And the UK once again regrets the loss of Australia as a land-fill site for their miscreants. |

#1 You can't be serious. 'Properly rehabilitated' rapists and murderers ? Much as people are hoping he's going to be different, I just don't see it. |
