Women in the North of England or Wales are up to seven times more likely to be jailed than those in the South, amid concerns that the number of women jailed could increase by more than 30 per cent in the next five years.
That’s why sensible people stay east of Offa’s Dyke and south of Watford Gap.
There is an alternative explanation which is that Celts and Vikings are less tolerant of termagants but how likely is that, eh?
Isn’t it a good thing that the number of women being jailed is increasing? I thought ‘equality’ was what was desired, no?
Anyway aren’t most of these TV licence dodgers ?
I mean it’s not exactly Brinks Mat heist level is it ?
I love the North. People who don’t live there, or haven’t, really are missing out.
But, you know, perhaps not enough women are being jailed. It would be hard to make the case to the contrary
. . . are less tolerant of termagants but how likely is that, eh?
termagant
2. (initial capital letter) a mythical deity popularly believed in the Middle Ages to be worshiped by the Muslims and introduced into the morality play as a violent, overbearing personage in long robes.
Inshallah, we’ve a lot to learn from the Celts and Vikings.
Dammit, Timmer, it’s the 21st century. This jailing women demands defunding the cops.
Does anyone know if there is more rehabilitation efforts in the north. I’d expect being preached at by some lunatic psychiatrist or social worker would drive anyone to violence.
No doubt there’ll be a campaign to stop women being sent to prison.

I always stay clear of Offa’s Dyke, especially when she’s had a few.

Junk science alert! Relative, not specific. 1 in a million vs 7 in a million is useless.
