@Steveb@mastodon.ie Barking. The perpetrators are most often teens. The most vulnerable, the elderly. We will be committing teens to life imprisonment for the negligent and accidental 'killing' of (in the main) elderly pedestrians. Shitty performative crowd-pleasing legislation aimed at a few positive headlines from the car-lobby oligarch-owned press (that is, virtually all of it). Same mistake as made by our forebears, applying draconian penalties in the hope it will deter 'bad stuff'. Very poor #Labour
