Life.
Some of our politicians are fond of saying that a "life" prison sentence should mean just that. In Scotland, official figures suggest we have a very long way to go. Another example of the reality beating the rhetoric? Life may not need to mean life, but it ought to mean more than seven years.
"MOST Scottish prisoners on life sentences leave custody having served less than 12 years - with some being in jail for as little as seven, official figures revealed yesterday."

Corporal Punishment.
Revealing insight into Prime Minister Gordon Brown's upbringing.
"GORDON BROWN'S headmaster gave him the belt for wanting to watch Scotland play on telly. Kirkcaldy High School head Robert Adam found out that some of his pupils were going to sneak off to watch their heroes play Italy in a vital World Cup qualifier. So he told any boys who wanted to see the game to come to his office - and belted them."
Mr Smith never got the belt for watching football matches, but did the PM ever get the belt for anything else?Posted by Jefferson Smith at 00:55 0 comments
