But it's all about intent, which I think is fair enough.

Accidentally kill someone in a drunken fight and you'll go down for a few years.

Kill someone whilst driving drunk, with no MOT, tax, licence or insurarnce and you basically get a year...if you are unlucky or have previous. Most of the time its a few months and early parole.

Kill someone whilst driving whilst sober, but banned, but with MOT and you'll get a few months.

Add extenuating circumstances (need car for work, girl ran out without looking etc) and you'll get the jail term suspended.

Its always been that way. Ask my neighbour: Her son was killed whilst doing a paper round and left for dead by a hit and run drunk driver who was already banned and known to police. Driver didn't even go to prison! This was twenty years ago. Nothing has changed in the law since.
We used to send children up chimneys to clean them, age of consent was 12y/o and dog fighting was classed as a sport - that was 100-150 years or so ago.
All these changed due to public outcry and laws repealed due to this outcry and some MP's standing up to e counted and about time to see some ore changes!

Meanwhile, the REAL criminal, a certain Mr Blair, responsible for countless thousands of deaths, is still free and raking in millions a year

At least he is not in a position to influence our future.
