This woman is a complete and utter bottle [and glass]. I posted a response to another question on this topic, emphasising the independence of the judiciary and the Sentencing Council (who set the sentencing guidelines and of which SKS was a member when they were set). This was before she waded in.
Now, when asked whether sending more people to prison (as per her suggestion) means more prisons would be needed she responds thus:
No, er, no because, because we are a party of optimism. We believe things can change for the better. You don’t just try to slap as many people in prison as possible. You try to break up the pattern, the going up the ladder until you reach more serious offences. We need to catch people earlier, literally, and make sure they don’t get worse.’
This campaign is pathetic and the people trying to defend it are even more so.
