Now. Let me see if there might be a solution. Perhaps we could tip some people out of prison who have served nearly a third of their sentence; perhaps we could release a few more dangerous people who are a proven threat to the public good; maybe we should stop sending very many wicked people into prisons in the first place.
Oh sorry. I thought that this was original but apparently the coalition cabinet (aided by Kenny Clarke, of course) were right there ahead of me!
