Quite agree, Ian, they should and yes, I'm fine thanks. Glad to see you're still making your voice heard!

Sorry, Stan, but I don't share your faith in British justice. I assume that this slimeball will get early release, so his sentence is ludicrously light. I would also refer you to the moron who punched a 96-year old war veteran, blinding him in one eye. The guy walked free, because the judge said it was "in the public interest!"
 
Understand what you say Winonie and the guy who punched the 96 year old and a couple of others in recent weeks seem to show a backsliding of justice. However this has always been the case.

(Remember Lord Denning?)

Also I see the fact that, people appear to have got let off lightly, as news worthy means in general people are being punished for their crimes correctly.

The other thing is if we do lose faith in the justice system it can only lead to mob rule and vigiliantiism.

To be quite honest, a large proportion of cases that I see in the papers or on TV seem to involve inadequate sentences.

I would also say, judging from the views expressed on this site and people I talk to, that the majority of the British public have lost faith in the justice system.

But that's just an old-school, unreconstructed, "hang 'em high" (to quote Steeljack's phrase) type talking! ;)
 
It is nigh on impossible to have faith in a system that lets attackers like the one who attacked the war veteran to walk free IMO.
