Fix how we're governed
Voting systems, House of Lords, devolution, MP accountability. What's actually broken?
Enough with the slap on the wrist for shoplifters stealing essentials!
Saw a young lad, maybe 17, nicking a loaf of bread and some cheese from the Co-op the other day. The shopkeeper looked more fed up than angry. Said it’s happening every day now, not just the usual dodgy characters but people desperate. Then
Ending Debt Jails: Scotland's Way Forward, Not Westminster's Hang-ups
It's frankly astonishing that in this day and age, the idea of imprisoning people for being poor is even a discussion point. Westminster's obsession with "consequences" and "personal responsibility" feels like a relic from a bygone era, par
Bring Prisons Back Home: Local Control, Not Corporate Greed
We need to get out of these private prison contracts, but just bringing them all under government control isn't the whole answer either. We've seen how quangos can be just as inefficient and out of touch. What we really need is to shift foc
Common Sense on Debt: Protect Taxpayers, Help the Truly Needy
While the idea of not jailing people for owing small amounts of money has some merit, we must be cautious not to create a system that rewards irresponsibility. My father always said you must pay your way, and that principle still holds true
End Private Prisons Now, They're a Moral Catastrophe and a Waste of Money
We need to abolish private prisons immediately. These companies profit from locking people up, which creates a perverse incentive to keep prisons full and sentences long, regardless of actual justice or public safety. It’s a fundamental con
Why Are We Still Jailing People for Minor Debt Offenses?
Seriously, what is the actual point of sending someone to prison because they owe a few hundred quid? It costs a fortune to keep them in there, they lose their job, making it even harder to pay the debt, and then they come out with a crimin
Enough with this 'justice by lottery' nonsense. Let's try something sensible.
Why do we let some people get away with relatively minor crimes just because they can afford a flashy lawyer, while others get hammered for the same offence because they can't? It seems utterly bizarre that our legal system's outcomes can h
Let the User Pay for Their Own Justice System
The idea that legal outcomes are swayed by wealth is a fair point, but the solution proposed is just another handout. We don't need a "universal legal insurance" paid for by everyone else. My father always said, if you can't afford somethin
Scrap the Two-Tiered System for Prison Sentences!
It’s time we overhauled how we sentence people, especially for non-violent offenses. My proposal is to introduce a unified sentencing guideline that focuses on rehabilitation and restorative justice, rather than a punitive system that dispr
Honestly, why are we still locking people up for minor drug possession? It’s madness.
I’m so fed up with seeing people, especially young people, get criminal records for carrying a bit of cannabis or some other relatively harmless substance. It completely messes up their lives, making it impossible to get jobs or housing, an
Sick of justice system punishing the poor, not the crime. Time to fix it.
I'm so fed up with seeing people get criminal records for minor things, often because they're desperate or can't afford proper legal help. It just traps them in a cycle of poverty and makes it harder to get a job or decent housing. Meanwhil
Enough with the Blame Game: Reverse the Burden of Proof for Corporate Manslaughter
We need to fundamentally change how we deal with corporate negligence that leads to death. My proposal is simple: for cases of corporate manslaughter, the burden of proof should shift. Instead of prosecutors having to prove gross negligence
Enough is enough! Stop letting criminals walk all over us.
I'm sick to death of hearing about repeat offenders getting away with it time and time again. It's like the system is designed to protect them, not the victims or decent folk just trying to live their lives. We see it on the news every week
Deadbeat dads still getting away with it? It's time the courts actually made them pay for their kids
Honestly, how many times do you hear about people, usually women, struggling to get their exes to pay child support? It’s not fair, is it? They’re supposed to pay for their own kids, but the system just seems to let them off the hook time a
Tired of Sentences That Mean Nothing? Let's Try Jail Time That Actually Works
Why do we bother with courts if the sentences handed down are just suggestions? We see it all the time, especially with lads who get caught up doing petty stuff. They get a slap on the wrist, a fine they can’t pay, or community service they
Enough's Enough! Stop Letting Criminals Walk All Over Us.
I'm sick to death of hearing about people getting burgled or worse, and the scumbags who did it get a slap on the wrist. It's a joke. You work hard for your stuff, you pay your taxes, and then some lowlife can just break in and ruin everyth
Fair Fines and Firm Foundations: Responsible Debt Management
The idea of ending prison sentences for simple debt is something most people can get behind, myself included. Nobody wants to see someone locked up for being broke. But we can’t throw the baby out with the bathwater either. My dad, who work
Reforming Corrections: Focusing on Rehabilitation, Not Just Punishment
While the idea of private prisons profiting from incarceration raises valid concerns about perverse incentives, a complete and immediate ban might not be the most practical solution for our current correctional system. We need to ensure our
Enough with the hand-wringing, just lock 'em up for violent crime.
Why do we keep shuffling petty criminals around instead of dealing with the real problem? All this talk of rehabilitation for people who've smashed someone's face in or burgled old ladies is a waste of time and money. They need to know ther
A five-year ban on former ministers lobbying their own department, with real enforcement
The Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (ACOBA) is a fig leaf. It has no statutory powers. It can be ignored, and regularly is. When a former minister takes a lobbying role that touches their old brief, the committee issues a polite
