I agree with that - in a country where you get a more severe penalty for going ten miles an hour over the speed limit than you do for beating someone up - it really is about time that the sentances and fines for all crimes were re-evaluated.

And when it comes to perverting the course of justice and perjury - the sentances should really be linked to the crimes they were assocaited with - for example if someone perjures themselves in a case about, say, TV license evasion - they should not have the same imprisonment guidelines as someone who lies in a murder case.
