    We’ve a great phrase for that here:

    “May as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb”

    (i.e. if you’re going to be hung it doesn’t matter if they call you a sheep or a lamb so press on)

      I always understood that phrase as more like “no point in half measures if the consequences are the same”, because a lamb is a small sheep.

        Yeah you could definitely take it that way. The first time I heard it I asked the lad what the hell it meant and that’s what he told me. Both fit in fairness.

        Edit: upon reflection I like your interpretation more
