This scumbag will, I assume, enter the process for removal once his sentence is completed. If we did had the death penalty we would be looking at a decades long appeal process during which time we would be paying to keep him in prison. It would cost far far more.

The other thing that gets suggested a lot is instant deportation. The fact that he was pleading with the judge for that to be applied should tell you everything about how effective that option is. If we're sending people back prior to them serving their sentences there is a good chance they don't serve that sentence when they arrive 'home'.
We could send him back minus his hands and penis.

I’d say this forum is a decent mix of left wingers very loudly claiming that everyone is right wing, and right wingers very loudly claiming that everyone is a leftie.
mmm, id say the 415 page thread on Trump being the comedian of the year says it all :ROFLMAO:

Not really a surprise that the forum is more left leaning as Coventry is at least in recent history a Labour stronghold and therefore likely much of our support leans that way. I think the objection comes from the labels that are attached to being one side or the other without reasonable debate. It seems we can only be racist gammons and you can only be leftie snowflakes. I'm sure most of us are neither.

Understood, from what ive seen though its the longer term members who are usually the first to dish out the labels.

Most people will have a lot more in common than differences.

I can't be a gammon. I'm a vegetarian.

Too many carnivores on the right hand side.

This is true. Just noting from the outisde it looks more like a hive menatilty from the left if anyone dares to show right wing tendencies...
It also happens the other way around.

Much of it is people responding to posts with their own thoughts, but there will often be similarity in what they post. It is a discussion forum after all. It's very rarely a 'pile-on'.

Not sure why attacking somebody with a knife isn't instant prison to be honest.
But again unless the judge has ignored sentencing guidelines, which is unlikely, the issue is with those rather than anything specific to this case.

Seems to be common now that we have people complaining about sentences when they are in line with the guidelines.

If people want tougher sentencing then that's fine, there's an argument for that. But in at least the short term you're going to face the issue of where to put people if you're sending more people to prison for longer.

Even if the money can be found for a large prison building program you've got to find suitable locations, go through planning etc. Its not going to be a quick process.

Or often the best punishment. It’s certainly the most expensive

Amazing how there's no spaces to put people who stab others but there are spaces for people who post shite online.
