SIR – The potential terrorists who planned to blow us all up in a heap of blood and mangled bodies received sentences between six and nine years. This means they will be out in three to four years, young men probably un-reformed and ready to kill again.

Personally, I would like to see them hanged, but at the very least let us put them away for 30 years with no remission.
