Makes me mad, it really does

[Mich the Tester]

I am not sure reducing the benefits of a convicted murder would go very far towards assuaging the grief of the victims' families.

I don't think anything would.

Possibly but I am damn sure that wouldn't. There you are perhaps that's the answer - let the victim (or their family in the case of murder) decide the sentence/punishment for the perpetrator

Do you know, Sasguru, I find it incredibly humbling that someone such as yourself would take even the smallest interest in me

I don't really but since you see fit to impose your uninformed ramblings on here I am forced to respond

whoa I was talking about locking people up because they haven't paid their TV licence. Forced deduction from benefits / PAYE / Interest or setting the Debt Collectors on them being far cheaper to arrange.

ILife meaning Life and murders being treated humanely but sparsely sounds good to me.

I'm all for clear plexiglass cells that you can just stand up in, porridge / vegetable soup and limited exit from their cell, but starving them & working them to death reeks of "Arbeitslager".

I didn't think we locked people up for several decades just to try and make their victims' families happy.

that's right. you cut their balls off or hang them by the thumbs with piano wire for that.

it's always important to murder good Christians - you have a much better chance of being forgiven
