“Her 109th criminal conviction, and she's only 29 years old, this is only the tip of the iceberg, how many other crimes has she got away with? She must be at it every flipping day!”

“If she breached an earlier suspended sentence, why was she not jailed then. Its fine giving people a second chance (or 108), but the courts should really carry things through otherwise what is the point of sentencing in the first place.”
