I AM writing on behalf of a local campaign group, who believe that life should mean life for certain crimes.
For child abductors, paedophiles, rapists and murderers, there is never a safe time to release them back into society.
Once somebody has proven themselves capable of such appalling crimes, they have also proven that they will always be capable of such crimes.
Yet every day, criminals such as these are released from prison, after having only served minimal sentences. Time and time again, we hear of them re-offending. This is why we say that life should mean life.
We know that many people around the country agree with us. We aim, by peaceful means only, to petition and protest, until such sentences are changed. We also urge others to join our campaign.
Only by standing together can we show that the country is sick of the situation, and that we will not tolerate it any longer.
