It gets worse. Ive just read this:
But Mr Straw said: "Biggs chose not to obey the law and respect the punishments given to him, the legal system in this country deserves more respect than this.
So we imprison people for a lack of respect.
Straw continues:
"Mr Biggs chose to serve only one year of a 30 year sentence before he took the personal decision to commit another offence and escape from prison, avoiding capture by travelling abroad for 35 years whilst outrageously courting the media," said Mr Straw.
So it's because of the media paying him loads of dosh for his story eh? Perhaps they should be in gaol as well?
Shamefull.
