Making me angry today

The home office wanting to lessen the number of custodial sentances for men convicted of domestic abuse by allowing more to pay fines or do community work. Apparently if they're "sorry" prison is an unnecessary measure for men who beat up their girlfriends.
I know, why don't we just have that for all crimes? "Yes I did commit multiple axe murders your honour but I've said the magic word so I'll just take one of those nice 'paint your neighbours' fence jobbies' if that's alright with you..."
Violence is, according to experts, a "learned behaviour", which is great because it means that people can change. But removing custodial sentances, sends a message that domestic abuse isn't as bad somehow as other violent crimes, and if you send out that message you can't expect men not to "learn" it.

Just rang Kate Moss

...well, her agent. She's a size 8.

BORED

Am blogging from work. Sat at desk with nothing to do but answer the phone, which rings approximately once an hour. I wish I cuold tell you I'm having deep, profound thoughts amidst all this silent inactivity, but it seems I'm incapable of interesting thought today. SO I have drawn a picture of a group of woodland animals worshipping a disused coke can on a post-it.
