Public borrowing below forecasts despite July rise

Government borrowing rose to £4.3bn last month, but was lower than expectations.

Some insane numbers being thrown around here in particular the government debt payments. There’s a lot of money being made from some seriously poor decisions.

Like this case?

Perhaps, given the sentence she has there is no point in rehabilitation, not that they bother with rehabilitation in general in UK jails - they make far more money when prisoners re-offend.
Unless she's proven to be mentally ill then capital punishment would probably suit this case, is my opinion, thankfully I'm not qualified to make decisions like these.

If you messed with my family I'd likely kill you, so I suppose I do. 

It's imperative that the conviction is sound though.

It's c.£63K a year to keep a Cat A prisoner alive, that money would be better spent elsewhere in some cases.

Yes, but there are bent coppers and people with agendas out there, what appears to be a 'safe' conviction isn't always the case, which is why it's important to ensure the validity of the charge:
