In case it still isn’t clear, this gesture by Johnson/Sunak means the government is expecting more criminality in future.
In other words, the government is admitting that we’re all going to be less safe – our houses, cars, families and kids… any one of us is now more likely to be the victim of a crime which attracts a prison sentence.
That is the reality of this government, Bill. You’ve given them your unquestioning support for too long, and now look where it’s got us.
