I think not.

From HMG: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/YoungPeo...me/DG_10027693

"The maximum sentences for intent to supply drugs are... up to life in
prison or an unlimited fine (or both) for a Class A drug"

From HMG: http://www.justice.gov.uk/guidance/p...ender/life.htm

"The maximum sentence that can be awarded by the Courts for a number
of other types of offences, for example rape, manslaughter and arson
is life imprisonment".

Wikipedia incidentally lists all common law offences, rape, inflicting
GBH with intent, wounding with intent, treason, aggravated burglary,
criminal damage with intent to endanger life.

But not, yet, cable theft
