It seems, as far as the justice system is concerned, that the 'thought crime' takes precedent over property crime. Quite a depressing state of affairs. :( Agreed.

It's so sad that it needs saying. Asked at a conference what I had noticed most on returning to Britain after 20 years abroad, I answered that the police now seem more interested in what people say than what they do. This got me some strange looks, but I can only conclude it's because the chilling of free speech has been gradual. To me, this doesn't feel like the country I left in 1997 for this reason more than any other. Well said, MG. It’s so sad that it needs saying.

He took a life. For which he served 16 days. In an open gaol. If "public outrage" were factored in, he would be in gaol for a very long time. Let the lad out. I am sure the shock to his system was lesson enough. CR. The difference being that Lord Ahmed killed someone. He took a life.

At times it becomes obvious that the law is an ass, as are those that enforce it. A superbly crafted post MG, the sentiments expressed therein being ones with which I wholeheartedly concur.
