British justice/sentencing is a joke

Having witnessed a frightening incident on a train last week (man threatening his mate/the carriage loudly "I'm going to knock you out and knock out everyone on this train" I wondered what happened with the train stabbing incident last year and was having a look.

Came across this.

AIBU that British sentencing is a complete joke?

Someone goes equipped to a train station.
Stabs 2/3 completely innocent members of the public/assaults another and gets.... 11 years? Does that mean he will be out in 5?

I'd like to see at least 25 years and not a moment less behind bars for this.

Sorry the 2/3 was because I didn't know if he stabbed the woman - that was described as "assaulted" so I guess not.

He stabbed one of the men 13 times!
