[Margaret Pilkington]

It is true Jaysay...and alcoholics have money paid into their accounts to provide them with their drink(though I don't know the amount)......so why should the justice system be skewed to protect these people?
And it means that you aren't safe even in your own home.....because these thugs can break in and all they will get is a slap on the wrist, a community service order and made to apologise to their victim. It is an outrage. It teaches them nothing and lets them believe that they can offend without fear of any consequence
