Steal money or defraud:

BBC NEWS | England | Tees | Canoe fraud couple sent to jail

6 years in Jail.

Hit and Run :

BBC NEWS | Politics | Death driving offences announced
Read: 'Horrendous' sentence.

A fine and 6 penalty license points.

As usual this points to the class system in Britain. Money is worth far more than a human life. While the infamous 'canoe' case is indeed abhorrent especially in the lies that the sons heard about their fathers 'apparent' death, it pales into insignificance to the loss of life.

It seems that if you steal money from the affluent (whether companies or individuals) it is deemed more worthy of a longer prison sentence than a driver killing your son or daughter. ( this is just one of many such cases)

Britain is fast becoming THE nation of ridicule and rightly so.
