    Those criminals don’t care.
    Before time it was bread and water and sleeping on concret. But now they are better off than
    those that are out. Better living conditions, more food , Tv ,buggery . Life is sweet with them.

    I agree one can make mistakes, but not as a recurring decimal. Dont know how they will learn
    some hash lessons, but the system now is getting slow as my computer.
