Yes indeed soft on WHITE collar crime, I know of number of people served/serving sentences for various forms of theft in excess of years 5 years for a whole lot less (value of theft).

I suppose when got all that stolen money to spend on good lawyers, you get the good deals.

F…………..k the old cu…nt, let the prick to his piddley 5 year lag, and if he karks it before then, well so be it.

Well now that the laws been passed where cops can question your assets, he won't have anything when he gets out.

the govt plunder is kicking in deeper.

Keep all receipts and make sure you can account for everything.

this law is not aimed at top producers who can account for their assets. Its aimed at the middle class to question why they have their possessions.

We better have a look at your books to see how that education is being paid for and get that kid back in the public system where we can control him!"

Daily Horoscope for December 29

Libra

An emotional situation is as clear as mud today. You aren't sure about your feelings for a certain someone, nor are you convinced that you know what they're playing at. They may be saying one thing and doing another, and you might even suspect that they're playing games with you or trying to get what they can out of the relationship. Or maybe you're imagining the whole thing? Admit it - at this stage you simply don't know.
