Today's most viewed Goldie promises to be tough on crime Annabel Goldie, Scottish Conservatives' leader, yesterday consolidated her party's tough stance on crime by pledging to end the early release of prisoners.
Criticising Labour and the Liberal Democrats for their "soft" approach to sentencing during the last administration, Ms Goldie said she wanted "prisoners in prison, not convicts in the community."
Campaigning outside Glasgow's Barlinnie prison, she said: "The Lib-Lab pact and the SNP have supported the absurd system of early release from prison for eight years, and have now softened it even further. We will end it, once and for all."
The Tories have already promised to build another prison if they win power. Miss Goldie highlighted the party's three strikes and you're out" policy which would see any person sentenced to a third or more term to serve an additional period in jail.
She said: "We make no secret of the fact this policy will require more prison space. That's why we've set money aside in our budget to build it. Countries which jail more criminals have lower rates of crime. Scotland needs to stop pandering to prisoners."

Started by Thatcher and allowed to continue under Blair and McConnell who turned NEW labour into a tory party mark2.
Inequality is the hallmark of Tory policy.They never make the gap between the haves and have nots less but promote policies that keep their millionaire funders happy and their political and legal allies who fleece Scotland to the tune of BILLIONS.
How they have been allowed so much media attention when they have ONE MP shows just how distorted our political system is when they talk as if they are some major force in Scotland when they can barely scrape one seat at Westminster.

http://www.ljpr.cjb.net Posted by: allymax, upvinesass, scotland. on 12:30am Fri 5 Oct 07 How can David Cameron be setting policies in Scotland with a ridiculous MP like mabel Goldie? He talks of Britain's 'broken society', and refers to mending it by taking the state out of the family home. But She talks of putting more state institutions in the family home? Something a-miss here.
Scotland needs to get the police, solicitors, social services out of our homes and away from our families, then we can start to rebuild our families from our own parental ethics. The more we let these institutions force their way into our homes, families, and lives, the more they will impinge on us, our rights, and our parenting. They are assuming our power; stop letting these parasites break our society. How can David Cameron be setting policies in Scotland with a ridiculous MP like mabel Goldie?
