This doesn't seem like much of a debate, it's clear the people of Britain are sick of the inconsistent justice system, myself included. Losng someone does not give anyone the right to behave anti socially. We all lose people and we get on with it, complete with money worries and children who have to continue to go to the local comprehensive. Taxi drivers are not on this earth to be abused by low life s@#$% who see fit to abuse people. If these people are dragged up without an ounce of respect then perhaps prison is a good place for them to learn some, but first make room by releasing people who should not be there!!! Who he was married to makes no difference, all I can say is they were well suited. As for JKs car, yeah, it was probably an inconvenience getting it repaired, but the two cases are worlds apart in real terms.

Kill baby P - probable sentence 14 years
Rob a train - sentence 30 years ...... we must protect our money and the rich at all costs !

The sworn priorities of the Police are the protection of life and property.Please note that LIFE comes first,has always come first and will always come first with the British Police duties.If only some people knew what they were talking about on here and you could have an informed debate.Sadly,rarely the case

Violence is violence and cannot be tolerated in society.

The courts should spend less time locking up people for non violent offences where community sentencing and fines etc would suffice.

Then there'd be more than adequate room for violent offenders and drug addicts who are prolific offenders to support habits, sex offenders and the like, who require incarceration to protect the public and kids.

People who are like Tweed, shouldn't be able to stick 2 fingers up at the law when afforded leniency first time around, then be patted on the back with a "There there chap, we sympathise.".

Simply because he may, or may not, have been stressed by Jade's illness, doesn't mean he can flip out and get an even more lenient sentence than one he just had a spin on and got tagged early.

He needs a good term inside treated like every other violent offender and also given anger management as part of remission or parole conditions.

Bally ludicrous the manner violent nut jobs and rapists and child sex offenders are almost pandered to.

Somebody who isn't a drug addict burgles a house, well that's a serious crime alright but if nobody gets physically hurt then non custodial approaches should be tried first, tax evaders, people not paying community charge etc, none should be jailed for those offences and similar.

Prisons should be there for the worst elements of society, too many low level and non violent offenders are jailed and it's no wonder there's an overcrowding problem, if courts didn't put so much emphasis on teaching object lessons for those committing property crime, there's be more room for those who need to be locked up.

People are more important than property or money, those commiting crimes against the person should be properly sentenced to custodial terms long enough to address and influence aberrrant behaviours to something more acceptable and no exceptions no release on tags until earliest parole dates and parole candidates properly assessed for suitability to early release else they serve full remission terms or full term if not reforming in the prison system, not so many locked up for owing money or low level crimes but hurt nobody!

Nuff said, end of story!

My handle on it all.

Oh. I say hurt nobody in the physical sense, of course there's emotional and psychological harms, but ye get me drift loike.

yes i think he should be locked away for longer.he dosent seem to learn although he was in prision.the general public have to be protected this guy tweed.seem's to be laughing at the justice system.

The Courts in this Country are pathetic, very few punishments fit the Crime, which was committed! And if the Judge has the strength, give a good sentance, their is some one or other who will stand up for the person being delt with.Discepline is a thing of the past, and a justified term,is never given because of the weakness of the judical, powers in Britain! Thats why the jails are FULL : Human Rights, Prisoner's Rights, and other known Organisations, who medal or interfear, should be stopped.

the justice system in this country is a joke, please explain why we can't bring back the death penalty, i know there will be a lot of responce to this, but we have the technology with DNA where there should be no mistakes made when getting a conviction on a murder charge ect then there would be no reason to say we have no room in prison for your crime but to just make a example we will give you 12wks but you can just do 6wks. if your famous or know someone/related to a famous person you'll serve less time, if jack tweed assault someone else whilst out on license for the same offence then what is he capable of doing when he,s not being monitored, also the general public have to take some blame for these people being allowed to walk our streets because when the goverment put forward a proposal for new prisons to be built we protest, we should follow america like we do with everything else( ie:- iraq! ) and give out tougher sentences, once over life ment life with no chance of being freed ( ie:- hindly/brady ) whats happened to our society it seems as though its being run by the ciminals of today not the goverment, come on mr brown get a back bone and stand up to these yobs then the rest of the country will follow we can't do this on our own

the rich dont go to prison thats a well known fact.
