Karen Matthews gets 8 years

[Mich the Tester]

He's in favour of low interest rates, continuation of a housing bubble
Spending cuts, but building more prisons and taxpayer borrowing to failed businesses hurt by the collapse of the housing bubble

...and locking up Robert Peston.

I think he's been exposed as a NuLabour crony. Maybe we should call him CyberGordon instead?

[EternalOptimist]

Through their own choice, yes

But a mother forcing them (was it tomazapan?) on a kid to keep her quiet, and locking/chaining her up for weeks...and that's what we KNOW of....ah honestly, I'm normally a bit of a lefty liberal whern it comes to punishment and stuff, but I would personally beat that bitch senseless and not bat an eye.
I'm actually really angry now just thinking about it.

Be fair, if drugging birds and chaining them to a bed were to be outlawed the jails would be bursting. I , for one, would be looking at a 20 stretch

Actually I think she should get less, she will be relatively secure in prison and settle into some sort of routine.

Her problems will come when she is let out, no one will touch her with a barge pole or the wrong end of a spongia. She will have to live miles away from Dewsbury pretending she's someone else for the rest of her life.

She'll have naff all income as the kids won't be given back to her.

until she breeds some new ones.

So you're in favour of increasing public spending now? Make your mind up.

How many prisons could they have built with the 12.5 Billion wasted on that VAT cut!! I firmly believe that tougher sentences would actually reduce the prison population, so public spending may not be necessary. Labour policy requires more prisons because of their mollycoddling of prisoners with TVs, mobile phones, conjugal rights etc.

I would hope she won't be allowed to keep them if she does,

As an aside, how did 5 different men get drunk enough to do her in the first place?

As another aside, what really upsets me about this is that if it wasn't for the ludricous kidnap plot poor Shannon and others would have carried on been abused.

I don't think conjugal visits are allowed in British prisons. And of course prisoners had TVs and access to phones during the conservative government too.

Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.

They must have been pretty paralytic though.

Well, she will be drinking from the furry cup for the next few years

I somehow don't think mobile phones were in widespread usage prior to 1997. Some perhaps, but certainly not many.
