What's that smell?

Complete the following sentence

screenshot of BBC headline which states “Serious criminals to serve more time in jail in justice shake-up”

Changes to the criminal justice system in England and Wales are heralded by the BBC with the above headline. Which immediately begs the question, what jail term do flippant criminals have to serve?

More mundanely, it means that sexual and violent offenders will have to serve two-thirds of their sentence, rather than half, as is current practice. According to the justice secretary, Robert Buckland, this means that these offenders get the prison time they deserve.

No, Mr Buckland, you're still letting them out early, you utter cock-head. They only get the prison time that they deserve if they serve their full sentence, and even then only when the sentencing reflects the true severity of the crime; which itself isn't a given.

Sheesh, can this idiot even tie his own shoelaces? I bet he wears loafers.


IME, loafers are worn by middle managers whose ability to tie together a coherent argument is matched by their ability to tie their shoelaces.
