  Gary just because the legal system does have faults does not mean you turf out centuries of tradition that generally works and replace it with diminished rights for all.
  
  Loopholes are there because legislation is badly drafted, too often in a rush, as some sort of knee jerk reaction to perceived public concern. Loopholes also occur because the CPS are poor, the police too often skimp on evidence gathering and some judges are just perverse in their interpretation of the relevant statute.
  
  Therefore what we need to do is
  
  a) review the whole body of current legislation
  b) repeal acts that are no longer relevant
  c) repeal acts that are contradictory or contrary
  d) review tariffs and set these to levels that genuinely reflect the severity of the crime and get the right balance between crimes against the person and crimes against property; with the former carrying more severe tariffs.
  e) review judges performance on sentencing and retire, retrain etc as required.
  f)review the structure, performance and remit of the CPS and conduct a root and branch overhaul to ensure that they do their job
  g) Provide updated guidance to the police on their role in gathering evidence to make sure they carry out that duty correctly
