What exactly is a serial burglar? If it’s an addict, longer prison sentences certainly isn’t going to help reform shit. It reminds me of 3 strike laws, which i think are generally bullshit if it’s a non-violent offense. UK knife laws seem ridiculous. I get that their violent crime involves a lot of stabbings, it just seems relatable to gun laws in the US. Low hanging fruit and all that. I’m also very weary of the vagueness of the extending sentences clause at the end. I mean i’m not a citizen of the UK, ha, but fucking hell that seems like some doo doo.

Mercer Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 People in the UK value their individual freedoms so little, I bet this was an easy vote for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
