There’s nothing I want more than something I want but can’t have. In fact, for most people, there is a hierarchy of spending:If you don’t want something and don’t have it, you don’t think about it. If you want something and don’t have it, you may feel okay. If you want something but don’t have it, you may feel demotivated.

Britain’s judicial system is strained, with tens of thousands of criminal cases backlogged in courts, overcrowded prisons leading to prisoners being released early to ease tensions, and convicts being released by mistake.
