We don't have enough prisons to give sentences that reflect the seriousness nature of crimes to the person nowadays, nor the police numbers available to investigate crimes, Badboy.
Sadly our country is being taken over by a criminal culture that is unable to be successfully prosecuted thanks to flawed EU law and crazed Human Rights activists.
Theft of scrap metal is seemingly way down on the 'hit list' of the CPS. Even lead stolen from Church roofs causing thousands of pounds worth of structural damage is not considered a worthwhile target for police investigations...
Rapists and child molesters are unable to be returned to their country of birth when caught as it affects their human rights of free movement...
Perhaps once we have completely shed the shackles of the corrupt EU perhaps we can return the UK to a sensible form of law enforcement and punishment.
