I'm not really familiar with UK law, but my understanding is that imprisonment for public protection was abolished in 2012.

The verdict in the Lapsus$ case against Arion Kurtaj feels like an attempt to get IPP through the back door. He has done a lot of damage, and a harsh sentence can certainly be justified, but isn't the whole idea of the rule of law that we can't just throw our hands up in the air and say "whatever, let's lock him up"?
