Make the time fit the crime!

The Issue

In the UK at present there is something wrong with the law makers, courts and judges.

On one hand they have just released a load of non violent criminals to make more room in the jails but on the other hand they are only prosecuting and giving jail time to drug dealers, shop lifters and people that sell dodgy fire sticks.

It seems like most violent criminals, domestic abusers and pedophiles are getting off with community service, fines and slaps on the wrists while non violent criminals are the ones doing time inside.

MAKE THE TIME FIT THE CRIME!

I don't know if the law needs changing, the judges need shaking up or the whole system needs reformed to suit this new age we are living in but something needs to change.

Only recently a guy got 2 years inside for selling dodgy firesticks, I'm seeing reports of cannabis farms getting raided and those responsible are getting time inside but a domestic abuser abused 2 women for 9 years, had 11 charges against him and he's walked free from court.

Then there's the kid that killed the bus driver in Elgin, he got 4 years and 4 months but the 2 idiots that cut down that famous Sycamore Gap tree which stood next to Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland each got a sentence of 4 years and 3 months. 

When cutting a tree down illegally gets you the same sentence as murder you know something is wrong with the system. 

Make it make sense law makers cause right now it doesn't. 

Child abusers that actually abuse & drug children, rapists and pedophiles that are contacting kids & touching them up are getting community service and let out to commit their crimes again..

Were is the justice in this?

What is going to stop the pedophiles, abusers and rapists from comitting their crimes again when they know the judges in the UK won't sentence them because they have gone soft...

Let's tell the UK government we are not happy, let's shake up the system and let's make the time fit the bloody crime!

Please consider signing this petition if you feel like me that the system we have in the UK isn't working. Let's make a change for the better! 

Our voices do count...
