they never do, despite what certain people seem to think, hence why a few attackers have been killed recently.

Agreed. Thank you Police and all the Security forces for keeping us safe.

They are discussing locking people up for longer.

 

I dont see how they can just lock up terrorists for longer, what about other violent offenders?

Prisons are already struggling, as is the probation service, it has been partly privatised.

A test for our new Government, to deal with these issues efficiently.

The Security Service, MI5, has more than 3,000 subjects of interest (SOIs) on its watch list, more than it is capable of monitoring around the clock, as well as a pool of over 20,000 former SOIs, some of whom are thought capable of moving to violent action. 

I am waiting for an announcement something like this:

The government would like to assure the people that if and when any of these 20,000 or so terrorists strike, our police will be watching them to make sure they only kill a few passers by before we stop them.

That  should read half is time.

The criminal justice system is loopy . . Why does the judge order a sentence when only half will be served? Probably to make the average citizen believe that justice has been done - another classic case of the criminal's rights superseding those of society? And when will we learn that some criminals will not or cannot be rehabilitated and that regardless of sentencing guidelines they either need to be deported or kept in prison permanently?

Where do you propose to deport Britons to?

 

As for the state of the UK's criminal justice system, I'd suggest The Secret Barrister's excellent book on the topic (Stories of the Law and how it's broken, IIRC), together with Chris Atkins' very recent 'A bit of a stretch'.  

 

Might open your eyes enough, to wonder what have the Conservatives been doing about it all for the last 10 years (before red tops and other MSM mouthpieces get you to believe it's all the fault of lawyers, immigrants, muslims, the ECHR, Remainers, the EU, ...).

Australia, obviously.

 

Assuming that they have enough points to get in😎
