The Home Secretary, Priti Patel, proposes finance for better Police operations but, neither she nor the Government propose anything to directly solve the root cause of the collapse of Justice in the UK !
Every Judge, Barrister, Solicitor or even Law Student knows full well that "Soft Justice" was introduced as an expedient because Prisons were at bursting point !
The length of some Prison sentences were then reduced by as much as 50% !!! This now means that criminals are no longer sufficiently deterred from commiting more
crimes.
Why have MPs refused to adopt long term plans for the building of "state of the arts" prisons to permit Judges to administer Justice correctly ? After all, is this not exactly what the Public really want - more Security !
BUT, it would seem that MPs only want to ensure their own very short term security at the next General Election. Building Prisons would be far too costly and a too long-term project it would seem !
