I should bleedin well think so as well :nope:


The Court of Appeal has upheld the principle of whole life sentences for the most dangerous of offenders, saying it does not breach human rights.
The Lord Chief Justice and four judges said jail without the possibility of release should be "reserved for the few exceptionally serious offences".
He said judges must be convinced those sentenced to whole life need to be held forever for punishment and retribution.

Did I read wrong? I interpreted it that it took away the possibility of this, of course,the people convicted of serious crimes to be considered as a matter of national security and citizens security.
