No one is saying bring those back, what I am saying is the punishments do not fit the crime.

In the UK nearly all the judges that came through the old boys club have no idea what justice is, because they are too busy worrying about contravening the human rights act. The problem is that the UK judges have not got the balls to give the sentences that the public is demanding. The harshest of crimes should warrant the harshest of punishment.
