Many of us know the type of animals running around destroying cars and setting fire to hotels. They were the ones at school who kept bunking off, weren’t interested, made ‘Swots’ lives hell. When teachers tried to discipline them, their mum, if she could be bothered, would ‘come up the school’ to scream at the teacher.

They left school at the first opportunity, with a reading age of 7 at best. They worked cash in hand in a trade, clocking off early on a Friday to go ‘up the pub’ and get coked up with the lads. Somehow they always seem to have a woman willing to take them on. Their poor neighbours have to listen to them effing and blinding. Their kids are out all hours, and when they go to school make the other kids and teachers lives hell.

They resent anyone who’s lives are more successful than there’s despite having done nothing to improve their own lives. They resent it even more if that person isn’t white.

When they reach retirement age they talk about having ‘worked all their lives’ when in reality they’ve been subsidised and have cost money, due to numerous A&E visits and lung issues from the fags.

Now them and their kids are running around like a pack of animals with England tattoos and flags, calling themselves patriots when they contribute the square root of fuck all and just take.

Haha this is a great write up. I wish there weren't people like this. 😞

I wouldn't survive 1 night in prison so I think that any sentence is better than none at all - I think even the toughest numbnut will be humbled by a six weeker.

Min security, low sentence. Three meals a day. TVs and games consoles in their cells, access to further education and work programs. Easy access to drugs too mind.

A cushty 6 weeks tbh.

4 sentenced so far : 2 weeks, 3 years and two lots of 18months... for violence, attacking the emergency services, burning out a Police car, violent disorder & looting.

Quite honestly these sentences are beyond pathetic and will not stop anyone rioting.

Then we have very weak policing & lack of police numbers.

Longer than a lot of child abusers get.

PandoraSox · 07/08/2024 16:03

They have all pled guilty though, haven't they? Which often means a more lenient sentence?

maddiemookins16mum · 07/08/2024 16:03

3 years inside, losing your job, not seeing your wains, possibly losing your home, animals, friends etc, no money, pretty hefty deterrent if you ask me.

They will however completely fuck up those peoples future employment prospects so there that….

No it won’t.

wizzywig · 07/08/2024 16:07

They're probably unemployed as their career or in trades. It's the norm to have a criminal record in the trades

Is it the 6 men I know including Dh that have a trade are decent men with no criminal record ! Please don't include all wc men in with your unfactual comment!

It really, really isn’t you know.

ElspethofEcclefechan · 07/08/2024 16:26

Should've been longer.

I'm glad they're going to prison though. I don't think they would've expected that when they felt like tough guys 🙄

Utter rot and you know it, imagine complaining about racism then tarring a group of people with same brush.

They probably didn't expect it to be so quick they probably assumed bail, the one who handed himself in had 20+ convictions so probably thought oh I've handed myself in, it will be fine !

I think they will make many think twice. Add into that the fact the sentences will mean loss of jobs etc too.

how long where you expecting them to be sentenced to?

Planning a traffic jam means a 5 year prison sentence, so I'd expect racist violence to carry at least 6 times that, to be honest.

Fifferfefferfeff · 07/08/2024 16:34

My nan went to prison for three weeks for refusal to pay a find for obstructing the highway (standing on the pavement) as a protest against trident. She was a pensioner, a little old lady, never hurt a fly.

that is what I was thinking, 18 months is a very long time to be incarcerated in one of our prisons, they lose their job (if they have one) come out with a criminal record and all what that means going forward in the future, just glad that these people are behind bars and I think it will be a deterrent to some of them, having said that criminals probably never think they're going to be caught so just carry on!

She had an option to pay a fine though

One got 3 weeks!

18 months means less than a year in Prison but most importantly, very few will actually be arrested, let alone charged and sentenced.

However, they are looking at terrorism charges now, that may mean far longer in jail and might focus minds but if there is still a small chance of being sentenced, then maybe not.

Look at footie hooliganism? despite jail terms for many, its alive and kickin... excuse the pun.

For many people in this country, short jail sentences are not a deterrent at all.

Thing is we don’t have the space so how many will just be out and about with a sentence that only kicks in it they reoffend.

"Thing is we don’t have the space so how many will just be out and about with a sentence that only kicks in it they reoffend."

We have the boat we were going to put immigrants in, put them in there and take it out to the middle of the channel, if the escape they won't be going far
