The UK penal system is far too soft..

It needs to model iteself on other stricter nations
that bang up and torture the criminal's families as well...

Threatening to execute a criminal's spouse or kids,
ought to make, for example, a shoplifter think twice about carrying on a life of crime...

Cutting a thiefs hands off seems to be quite effective as well...
Threatening to cut family members hands off, perhaps even better as a deterrent...



Now to see which mudcatters agree with the above ideas,
but were maybe a bit cautious about mentioning it themselves...???
