This from the article intrigued me: Corns' barrister told the court that the A-level student, who hoped to join the RAF to work as a cabin crew member, had been dropped off in the city centre by her mother to do some shopping.
Despite the best efforts of the barrister, it doesn't quite convey the impression of risking life and limb in the service of Queen and country.
These daft kids should have been given one week maximum.
After a week in prison the shock starts to wear off, then the life-long resentment and alienation from society starts to build.
This righteous vengeance orgy that we're having, will cost us dear in the years to come. We have converted a lot of typical daft teenagers into confirmed criminals. Haven't we got plenty of those already?

ReplyDeleteSurely, any RAF jet with cabin staff is likely to be serving the top brass? Not so much flak to worry about!
"...then the life-long resentment and alienation from society starts to build. "
They seem to have that don't pat well before they went in!
What do you suggest, a stern talking-to?
