Sentence for driving while banned after killing six people: 150 hours unpaid work, 12 months supervision and a restriction of liberty order for four months between the hours of 7pm – 7am. https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow-news/glasgow-bin-lorry-crash-driver-12828178

Sentence for planning to stop traffic in a peaceful protest trying to save the world: four years in prison.

These sentences are the wrong way around, there is something very wrong with the UK.

Half of it is a Tory hangover still, but that needs reversing.

@kim_harding I have no opinion about the lorry driver and I've not read the article, but the enviro-hippies all had previous convictions for related crimes, and clearly scoffed at suspended or short sentences and community service. Their sentences, at least, seem reasonable.

@kim_harding Yep. States does not like people conspiring to commit crime. They like people regretting the crimes. Plus, the causing traffic jams will kill someone, sooner or later, as it blocks ambulances, too. Just.. don't do that.

@pavel In a democracy, peaceful protest should not be a crime.

But you are just another Troll, so you don't actually care about democracy, or ambulances stuck in traffic jams...
