Heard it all before...Tory conferences talking about "short, sharp shocks", Wille Whitelaw talking about prison life being conducted at "a brisk pace" etc etc.
Looking at the rights of the home owner is all very well, but the whole British justice system needs reforming root and branch. A toughening up of the judiciary with judges who are willing to punish criminals, rather than feeling sorry for them. An expansion of prison building with prisoners kept in much more spartan conditions than now. A wholesale ratcheting up of sentences - real life terms for murder, 30-40 year sentences for serious assaults etc. Can't see all that happening under a lightweight Blair-a-like!
