		<description>Mr Ellis

You raise some interesting points here. I believe there are greater problems in society than you suggest although i do accept your suggestion that it is not all society which has the problem.

You are correct on your get tough stance. It is however the whole system which needs overhauling. 

The police and courts system can defeat each other. If the police don&#039;t catch them the courts can&#039;t deal with them and if the courts don&#039;t deal with them in a robust way the police may as well not bother.

The system is certainly broken whatever anyone thinks of society. Incidentally, I wish the Conservative Party nationally would appear as capable as you quite obviously are. Get yourself elected to Parliament and give them a good shake up.

Well done on this excellent website.</description>
