It's just not fine

Once again the Government goes after the motorist. From Monday 2 April anyone who is fined in court will have to pay a £15 surcharge on top of their fine to help victims of domestic violence.

Home Office Minister Baroness Scotland said: "We are hitting criminals in the pocket to make sure that crime doesn't pay."

Fine you think until you learn that real criminals - rapists, murderers and the like - won't have to pay and that money collected won't actually go the victims of domestic violence. Oh no, it will go towards expanding the number of independent domestic violence advisers on the public payroll.

So that's good - yet more people dependent on the state for a living.

Vote Labour.
