"If I take all of the money, eventually I will trickle some back to you."
"But why?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well you've just stolen all the money, if you are so greedy why would you ever share?"
"Well I won't, but lets pretend I will."

But Durham, Kent, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Leicestershire & Lincolnshire are all putting up rates

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.
But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.
