The welfare state is unsustainable economically, socially and morally.

One tough judge
Here's a judge who sentenced a woman to 212 years in jail, and, yes, a NZ jail. See. Labour is right. We are getting tough on crime. Very tough. That'll teach her not to rob a bank or commit a bomb hoax again.
212 years is so out of character it must be a missprint.
ReplyDeleteYeah - must be 2 + 1/2
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Probably right. But even if it was 212 years, they'd let her out on bail before you know it.
ReplyDeleteYou don't get bailed from a sentence of imprisonment. Bail is consider at the time of arrest as an alternative to remand.
