Sort of going over old ground again, our lady MP who fraudulently managed to get off with £45K, seems to have been into it for even more - and still no apology. However, lady in Tranent made a false claim for housing benefit in 2009, and has just been to court charged with benefit fraud of £5000 - the Sheriff has now called for a background report before sentencing!!!
Celtic footballer breaks the law by making racist comments about a fellow football player - he now stands to lose his contract with Celtic and has to appear before the SFA Disciplinary Committee - wonder if they have more "balls" than the committee of MP's who judged their female peer?
Euro MP's visited Scottish prisons a couple of years ago for five days, based on this piece of "in depth research" (which might also have been a bit of a junket) they have decreed that we have to reduce to numbers of people we are sending to jail. Perhaps we should send all the foreign inmates in our prisons back to their own countries for punishment - alternatively we should give our offenders a one way ticket to one of these EEC countries and let them run amok there instead of doing so here at home.
Big debate on the radio today about the girl imprisoned in Peru for drug smuggling - looks like she may be coming home to serve out her sentence in Cornton Vale where she can be nearer her family, etc. - I wonder how many foreign offenders we have in jail are pleading to be sent home to serve out their sentences - or is prison in the UK the cushy option ?
