They’re lucky the Queen is merciful. At one point in Britain’s history the kid would have been hung as a thief...

This is the whole problem. Kings and Queens are supposed to instill a sense of fear and respect in their subjects. That ain't a happenin' these days.

The Queen has no power anymore, she is purely ornamental.

When Queen Besse 1 was in charge, Tyburn hill was bussy and the tower was crowded, but drawing and quartering might be a little over the line, perhaps sending them to the colonies like Rawleys land or Botany Bay would be a acceptable solution aaahh, I forgot, that was then and now is now what to do
