The changes that effect all our lives

I am not sure which planet I live on, we have people who have taken other peoples lives,traumatise the love ones left behind to rebuild they lives, these criminals have no remorse for their crime, except when saying it is their right to have a vote.
What do I say you are lucky to be alive,in some respects the death penalty should be used, why when some person has lost a love one and the perpetrator after just a few years walks free. oh I know they can be recalled back to prison if they re offend, but that is not the point, they still breath the air and claim all the benefits.
This country is so soft on crime we even let criminals in from other countries. is there no one accountable for this travesty of justice.
I look at the politicians and think have they never had a real job, just look at the opposition shouting about cuts, when they caused this mess. Please would some one just stand up and stop this roundabout we will we will not, change the human rights we are fed up with being taken for a ride by judges, and leave us tax payers paying criminals.
Do we not have laws that fit the crimes that are being brought to court, not these punitive sentence.

When are we going to stop immigration to this country we have high unemployment, who has taken the jobs well may be it is these people who come in and take very low wages its a thought.
The other point , when are we going to stop paying benefits to people who have never paid income tax, who take child benefits when we school them, their health care, and housing benefit, If I was to go to another country would I get these you can bet your bottom dollar I would not, would not even let in, unless I had a lot of money to keep myself, with out relying on my host country.
Sorry we have lost the plot.

I will write about our senior service men being given notice by email next week. when I have calmed down
