Well it seems that Cameron is at it again, only this time ban a hoddie and not hug a hoodie.
Sorry but I have heard all this before, and even if there was a remote chance that Cameron was serious here, we all know the prisons are full, and the prison service is at breaking point.
Tony Bliar also had a view on dealing with crime. Remember the slogan ' tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime '? Somehow that fizzled out quicker than a damp firework on bonfire night. Then when Cameron was leader of the opposition remember this nonsense?
How Cameron wishes he never said that now.
So has Cameron got a chance with his new proposals on crime, or is it too little too late for Britain?

Regret what, the hug a hoodie thing? He never did say it Star. T'was the Labour Party tagged it as that IIRC.
From the article linked to:
Other measures are likely to include fines for prison bosses who fail to stop criminals re-offending after release, in a new "payment by results" system and an "element of punishment" in community sentences, which have been dismissed as a soft option.
This big stick approach is a complete nonsense until such time as proper rehabilitation programmes are made available to all prisoners, though this is going to be somewhat problematic for the vast number of inmates coming in on short sentences for very petty crimes and typically serving 2 and 3 month sentences. What Mr Cameron d'you expect the prison service to usefully do with these people? Need to sort your bloody sentencing policy out first before you can even begin to implement punitive measures like this on the service.
the custom of giving £46 cash to all inmates when they are freed from jail may go.
Idiot! So we're gonna kick people out of jail and back on to the streets with no money whatsoever until their dole comes through, a wait of at least two weeks if memory serves. Don't think they're able to even claim a crisis loan until their claim is accepted at least on a provional basis, though I could be wrong there, it's a long time since I last signed on. I wonder what 'criminals' are likely to do in the meantime to support themselves?
"Cushy" regimes for prisoners will also come under attack
Hopefully someone from the Prison Service will explain what these 'cushy' regimes ( sounds like something straight outta the Dail Mail, that. ) are intended to achieve? Not there for the prisoners' benefit, they're there to help prevent riots and burning prisons FFS. They're management tools you fool.
