Pizza face Devine got sentenced to 16 months for fraud and got out in 4. The former Home Secretary, flipped homes, stayed with her sister, put her man's wank films on her expenses and is still at liberty.
Some poor bastard with a clean record walking back from his girlfriend's house, sees a looted shop and stupidly goes in and steals 4 small bottles of water, worth about £2 and gets 6 MONTHS IN JAIL!

This is why I left the UK. The laws are so unfair and penalise the poor and allow the rich to just help themselves with no consequences.

Puts things in perpectivre but you still have not answered my question about whether it was "less bad" to re-mug the Malaysian boy (now thankfully recovered) as an unpremeditted attack on a stranger (Bad Samaritan).
Banned, I don't think the Malaysian boy should have been here in the first place. So the moral question doesn't arise!
