Retribution - We Must Not Lose The Moral Imperative.

We have gradually moved away from the moral base of punishment - which is a serious mistake.
Deterrence, protection of society and reform of the malefactor are all extremely important - of course they are - but that any individual should not receive a punishment which is an equivalent to their wrongdoing devalues the concept of justice.
Effectively, the felon should KNOW that the punishment will never be less in degree than the crime committed.

SHAME On The Mail For Failing To Know That Henry The Seventh Was Not The Same Person As Henry The 8th.
