Compared to which 'day and age'?

The days when the british justice system was wonderfully fair, like when you could get hanged for stealing bread for your starving family. That sort of thing

I have no knowledge of the case apart from the fact that the judge said a few weeks back that they were looking at custodial sentances. Why would he say that, then not follow it though?

Probably to s**t 'em up a bit. Not a bad move really.

I think he's thinking of a 'day and age' when no crimes were committed in this country and everyone was nice to each other. There were no nasty people at all. Teenagers weren't annoying, they were lovely and never did anything stupid at all. My gran talks of it often. I believe its known as the "good old days".

I've heard about that time. Apparently you could leave your front door wide open, and go on holiday.

It's true. My gran could walk down to the shops and not get mugged and beaten up in those days.
Not that she or anyone she knows has been nowadays but it says in her paper that you cant do that anymore. Usually due to teenagers or nasty foreigners.
