Some highlights.

Thats just after he said he had removed all targets apart from public confidence. So now all the Police can do is influence how people think and not what actually happens.

Suuuuuuurrrrrrrreeeeeee. Maybe if you have an armed bodyguard around you 24/7

So when they breach it and fail to comply with community service etc. and finally get the jail where will they go? The countries prisons are already creaking at the seams and the 'not at all a political ploy' ending of early release just before the election will make matters even worse.
Their usual pre-election garbage! Heard it all many times before from Bliar and the steady stream of tough talking serial underachievers otherwise known as New Labour Home Secretaries.

Rumour has it that Brown was considering another nice new slogan for the forthcoming election:

"Things can only get better...."

...until someone reminded him that they've been in power for 13 years...
