Firstly you presume wrong... i meant Pi**ed not annoyed... so if you would like to continue without being pompous please.
Sorry, p***ed in English means you're drunk. If you aren't using the Americanism, then it must be that. Perhaps that explains why you said what you did.
Moving on, the point is this, that you were not present in court for the evidence. You were not there when the victim impact statement was given. You were not in court when mitigation was given. You were not in court, so you don't know if perhaps he grassed up a lot of other people. So you don't know all of the circumstances. In fact, like most people on here, you have read a couple of paragraphs in a press report, decided that is all of it, and leaped to a conclusion.
Neatly forgetting as Steve did, that you conclusion he can never be cured is outside you clearly limited experience and so is the effect on the child. You and Steve have guessed what might happen in the future, with no more knowledge of the facts or the effects than whats written by a hack.
Your words are a good example as to why the public are not part of any sentencing process. Emotion and shock & horror by proxy has nothing to do with it. So stop being 'p***ed' by proxy and get rid of the emotion. You'll find a much more reasoned discussion.

Speed is dangerous, which is why you were disqualified. There is as much chance of you offending again as not. The same as chummy. Irrespective of how seriously you view each offence, thats the facts. So, if life should mean life for chummy, then should your license stay with DVLA for good?
Now you will say no, you have learned your lesson. How do you know that chummy hasn't?
You don't.
And lastly, USI is a serious secxual offence, the same point applies, should someone who's committed that also be locked up for good? I suspect most people will say no. Why the difference? the idea of prison is reform, if someone committing USI can be reformed why can't a peadophile not be?
