Should jail terms of under one year be scrapped?

http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Prison-Governors-Call-For-Jail-terms-Of-Less-Than-One-Year-To-Be-Scrapped/Article/200910115400208?f=rss

"... critics say short jail sentences are ineffective at reforming criminals and should be abolished in favour of community punishments."


Why don't we just flog/lash/birch them publicly and be done with it? I do hope they consider this option at the Tory Party Conference.

And wouldn't it be fun if the Labour steals a march on them by offering this to us in their election manifesto?

Then the EU will tell us we cannot do it because it goes against some EU directive on the human right of the criminal not to be flogged, punished properly or publicly humiliated or whatever.

In a huff, we lift our skirts, head for the door, walk through it and slam it on our way out of the EU.

That would be so nice, would it not?

This, folks, would be how the Muslims and BNP would deal with the situation. I have always thought that that lot have a great deal in common and should be nicer to each other and co-operate more to rid ourselves of this scourge of extremist liberalism, which has rotted the brains of those who govern us.

If nationalism is an ideology of national interest, then it might be in the national interest to embrace Islam, junk the Church of England and establish a Mosque of Britain.

I would have no problem with more Islamic forms of punishment being imposed on the criminal classes than the namby-pamby penalties now in existence.

Most people wouldn't either.
