Maybe, but it's True.

I'm 100% in favour of longer sentences for violent crimes and repeat offenders, however I'd be looking to get a grip on all the trivial crap that our courts and Police are currently burdened with as frankly we don't have the resources to cope.

It’s not true.  Causing offence has never been an offence outwith the now repealed football Act and the only offence I can think of dealt with by the criminal courts which could be reasonably argued as trivial is BOTP which covers a wide range of behaviours.
 

To be honest English courts being busy or underfunded isn’t relevant to most of us in Scotland. With the introduction of summary sheriffs in 2014 we’re probably in a better nick now than ever in terms of allocation of resources and knife crime rocketing in England isn’t relevant to us given ours is generally trending the other way. Rest assured they didn’t give a f**k when Strathclyders were stabbing each other in record numbers in the early 00s and it doesn’t seem remotely likely Bojo will try to learn any lessons from us.

This is the puzzle for me.  I had always regarded the Lib Dems as a mixture if people who were not quite Labour and people who were not quite Tory with possibly more of the first lot than the second.  When they opposed the Iraq War they seemed to be to the left of the Labour Party.

Then the coalition government came along and it seemed the Lib Dems were mostly people who preferred the Tories to Labour.  News to me.

Why do they object to putting Corbyn into number 10?  If they are required as coalition partners to Labour then Labour would have to moderate its agenda to something the Lib Dems could live with.  Maybe they already acknowledge that they would be poor negotiators as they were in 2010.

The Lib Dems claimed they didn't back Labour in 2010 because of Gordon Brown, then said they wouldn't back Labour in 2015 because of Ed Balls and now they claim they wouldn't back Corbyn. They're charlatans and deserve to be eviscerated in every seat they stand. Closet Tories that can barely be arsed to hide it anymore. I'm tempted to stick a tenner on a Tory minority or a Tory-Lib Dem coalition as there's great odds on either scenario.

Viewers have a choice tonight, they could watch a battle between talentless mediocrities who have no right to a second of your attention, or they could watch Scotland vs Kazakhstan in the football.

From the look of the crowd at Hampden, quite a few have opted for the debate.
