WITH reference to the news of police crashes during pursuits, it's not surprising accidents occur.

The offenders know that they just have to keep their foot down because the police have restrictions.

The police are reprimanded when an accident occurs, while the offender gets away.

When an offender is caught, what do the courts do - smack their hands and face?

Oh! sorry that's not allowed now.

It's time the Home Secretary woke up and stopped listening to the do-gooders who have helped to ruin the law.

We are a lawless state, where the criminal element knows that it can get away with anything.

Why give a criminal six years, then let them out in three?

It's time corporal punishment was brought back - a few lashes of the birch would sort them out.

The public should not blame the police for trying to do their job. It's the Nanny State system that we have.
