Not sure what the problem is- prison made my hair go too frizzy and I was upset, so I was released early.... and got to spend the 3 billion from my successful Brinks Mat raid.

Sorry but you just don't appreciate the psychological devastation caused by wearing a nasty tag, which ruins the line of your clothes, when all you have done is beaten some other woman.


Seriously though it amazes me that a judge agreed that she was too feminine to wear a tag- although not too feminine to get into a brawl.
The other day I read an item about a teacher in Cumbria, who forced 2 boys to release a 10 year old girl who they had locked in a cupboard. one boy's mother had the teacher suspended because 'he bruised her son's arm' when he took hold of the boy to make him open this cupboard. Surely the kid was wrong to be torturing another child in the first place?
The law seems to be turned on its head...

This is so typical. Once again the criminal wins and the victim loses.
I get sooo mad when all I see and hear is the criminal claiming for damages, or assault or have rights The unfortunate thing is that the criminals are very aware of their rights.
