“Britain’s notoriously lax judicial system has reportedly seen nearly 40 per cent of repeat knife crime offenders spared from prison terms over the past year despite the government implementing a “two-strike” sentencing rule meant to deter them.”
“The proportion of repeat knife crime offenders being allowed to walk free by judges has reached the highest level since the government introduced legislation in 2015 which supposedly mandated that second offenders receive automatic prison terms.”
Another example of leftists adopting the same policies everywhere - the UK and every leftist run city in the U.S. - with the same results - a major rise in crime.
Yes itis surely crazy!
I live in the UK, and it’s very frustrating – probably life-shortening – to read about crime here.
A typical news story will read something like this: "The offender was arrested yesterday, and will be charged with homicide if his victim, now on life-support, dies. He had a long string of arrests for violent assaults, robbery, burglary, and domestic violence. Police spokesman John Smith said, “This sort of violence is totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated.”
Of course, you know that it will be tolerated. We have a political party in the UK called ‘the Conservative Party’, and it’s true to its name: it conserves the present pro-criminal system. But it’s not completely conservative: whenever the Left pushes for something, like ‘Anti-racist’ indoctrination in the schools and universities, it will make a few feeble noises that sound like doubts and misgivings, and then implement whatever the Left wants … a bit at a time, and without any publicity.
A case in point: ‘Affirmative Action’, ie quotas for ‘protected classes’: the head of recruitment for the Royal Air Force has just resigned, because the RAF was told it must not take in any more white males, until the quota for non-whites and females had been filled.
So we can expect more Kara Hultgreens overhead.

The Conservative party in the UK is the same as the Republican party in the U.S. - “controlled opposition”.
