Do we really want to see and read of the makeover along with the glamourised rotten publicity of the Drug smuggler Mccollum who with her mate attempted to smuggle drugs to the value of 1.5M into Europe. Next she will be on TV celebrity status making a fortune from her and her mates crime. "SICK"

It's not good, is it? Youngsters might well look at her, getting publicity and looking so glam, and think it's worthwhile, in the long run

And I heard on the radio this morning that FIFE drug taking in young people was DOWN to 20%.... I have a nephew who messed his life up for 15 years with drugs.

Not good news...

There has to be a book in this somewhere, serialised in one of the tabloids, with a film waiting in the wings. Then there will be TV interviews with the likes of Morgan, Derbyshire and Ross.

These are the same people and organisations who constantly preach to the masses about the examples we set to our youth. The whole thing stinks.

How the media can glamourise such filth is beyond my comprehension, it shows the state that society has sunk too. It also shows that this trash has been prepared beforehand to cash in on her crime. The public should boycott and programme that promotes her.."I am not a bad person, I realise the harm my actions could have caused" Believe that if you like, " "kidnapped"? They should have been .,

Yes, Kate. Generally speaking, Society does seem to have certainly sunk in recent years.

No doubt the younger generations will not agree, not having experienced what society was like in our younger years.
It is difficult to know whom one can trust nowadays. It is very sad really.

It just shows how crime is glamourised "who said Crime Doesn't pay Aggers"?,

Actually I agree Victor, as I also agree with Aggers

I honestly think that the reason crime has increased is because the punishment for crime is now not severe enough.

I remember once a man telling me that he had once received the birch at the local police station, and it had
convinced him that he was never going to do wrong again.

Nowadays, when a man is convicted of a serious crime, he is sent to one of her Majesty's holiday hotels,
with all mod cons, where he can stay rent free and exercise his human rights, and be so happy there that
when he is let loose he is so sad that he is only too pleased to commit another crime so that he can go
back to be with his mates. The astonishing number of re-offenders is proof that something is now wrong
with the way we deal with criminals. Can't the powers that be see that?

Things will never get better until we really start to punish offenders properly, and bring back Hard Labour
for serious crimes, and the Death Sentence for murderers.
