NEARLY half of convicted drug dealers are avoiding jail because of soft justice, The Sun can reveal.

Just 56 per cent of offenders guilty of possession with intent to supply are caged.

The other 44 per cent get either suspended sentences, community sentences or discharges. Last night Tory MP Philip Davies blasted the lenient approach.

He said: "The majority of right-thinking people will be disgusted by this news. Drug dealers deal in misery and death and their actions are completely abhorrent. These figures are simply not acceptable. Every drug dealer should be locked up."

The Ministry of Justice statistics for 2009 were obtained by The Sun through a Freedom of Information request.

Of 6,394 people sentenced for drug dealing in England and Wales, a whopping 2,693 were not jailed. Incredibly, the figure includes one in four found guilty of peddling Class A drugs such as heroin or cocaine.

And 80 per cent of Class B cannabis dealers were not caged.

The Sun has launched a Say No To Soft Justice campaign after a string of lenient sentences. One judge about to jail a shoplifter changed his mind because the thief had to look after his CAT.

Drug dealers. Shot
Drug mules. Shot
Drug takers. Three chances. Then shot.

Some countries impose the death penalty on journalists who print the wrong thing. They have very low rates of publicly expressed dissent. They don't have the scourge of tabloid newspapers that we have. Problem solved.
 
it had to be ''the sun'' that printed this............

the same people who wrote ''bin bagged'' when big laden got taken down.

it really grinds my gears the amount of bullshit they have printed over the years (completely biest of the truth and just to rake sales!!!) why can't they take a leaf out of the observer or independant, a refreshing paper to read.

I suppose a paper that is also light porn is not really suppose to be taken to seriously....

EDIT: 4chan's /b/ would be proud, truly a pioneer in the art of the troll

What? So all of us, scientists, former heads, MPs etc. are all fucked in the head and don't think right because we actually think about the drug laws logically and see that the LAWS are the fucked up part?

the thing which pisses me off more than the sun are the people that believe what the sun publishes
 
Damn.. i just tried leaving this comment:

You people do realise you are looked down on, pitied and hated by the free thinking world?

You're a bunch of mindless morons who gets "facts" from the Sun. An entertainment paper full of ignorance and propoganda, lies and not much else.

Try learning about some of the things you seem to feel so strongly about from somewhere other than this mindless dribble..

Look up portugal and their drug policy. Look up how that worked out for them.

Look up englands drug policy, and how miserably it has failed to do anything but make criminals out of innocent people and cause more harm than good.

I suppose none of you enjoy a drink every now and again? Smoke cigarettes?

Go educate yourselves you pathetic bunch of zombies.

I hope that was not refeering to me at all ? not many people do beleive much of what the sun sais these days, but its the fact that a newspaper is suppose to educate citizens about revelant information, not just talk bollocks so your typical british man in interested

they know we know it utter shite, thats how they sell there newspapers as there headlines and info is so preposterous, ppl think to themselves ''oww ill have buy and read this''

EDIT: sorry to sound angry., but the sun really winds me up sometimes

Id like to find the person who wrote that and tell him I agree with him, then plant an ounce of weed broken up in 8 different baggies in his teenage son's backpack and then pull out my gun after he finds it and ask where his son is.
 
"Well this time the Sun has got it right as all drugs cause deaths in many ways. Some by the seller who should be convicted for murder and then by the person bringing in the drugs manslaughter. As it affects this countries money costs in Billions of pounds that should be used elsewhere."

I am not sure what this clearly enlightened and educated reader is trying to say. Surely locking up all drug dealers and charging them for murder etc will cost even more money?!

Who reads the sun or the daily mail anyway? I've never met anyone who does but I get the impression they must be pretty fucking stupid.
