The punishment is disproportionate to the actual crime. This extreme sentencing is politically motivated. I don't condone what they did or the rioting in general. But fuck sakes... we got people getting locked up for stealing a bottle of water. We had politicians wilfully abusing millions of pounds in expenses and they got of with an apology. Our bankers bamboozled the global economy and got rich of it... they got bonuses! How the hell can we justify dishing out these sort of sentences.
It's amazing how the right wing media has stirred up the populace over here. People are baying for blood over this and normally rational people would like to see us hang 11 year old kids for stealing chewing gum! ( Or see them raped in prison it seems )
People seem to be quite happy to give away their own rights as long as these so called 'feral youth' are prevented from stealing and looting from our corporations. The same corporations who ship as many of their jobs to sweat shops in china and india while we can't get a job over here. Oh I forgot... that's the immigrants fault!
We'll wake up one day and realise we are living in a police state and we will only have ourselves to blame.
