Bring back the birch I say. Some years ago I read something to the effect that no-one could recall anyone coming back for a second helping.

Front page of my local rag today carried a story of a drunk driver that was sentanced after knocking down and killing a 23 year old girl.....
anyone wanna take a guess at the sentace?
£350 fine and 18 month ban
Who the f**K tightened this up!

Were there any mitigating circumstances? It certainly sounds like a remarkably lenient sentence, particularly if the guy was drunk. I'm amazed
he didnt get something custodial, and significant.

I dearly hope there are some mitigating circumstances!!!!
I was fined £350 (and given 8 penalty points) for "driving without reasonable consideration for other road users" when I scared a horse
whilst passing it. (there was no accident, no injury, the horse didn't even rear up, and the two horses were being ridden two abreast on a blind
bend!!!!!!!!!!!!
As I always maintain, the law is a f**king ass, and unfortunately due to the current methods of "law enforcement" in place I am building a
great hatred for the police as well.

But i bet the magistrate owned a couple of horses
It makes me laugh you can mug an old granny and walk away with a £20 fine but call a judge a tosser in court and get 6 weeks in prison.
