This has made my blood boil. What sort of brain thinks this sort of reaction is justifiable? Evil little barstewards.

Human rights became properly codified immediately after the second world war and directly because of the systematic atrocities committed by some humans on others. The regime advocating those atrocities also favoured eugenics so that the 'undesirables' didn't "father anymore dregs of society" too. I won't banish people holding those or similar views but I'll argue against them at every opportunity. Their views will become policy in this country only over my dead body.

The Human rights act has been hijacked by get rich quick solicitors so now everybody has rights but only some have responsibilities.
If you intentionally injure another human being why then should your rights be paramount in every equation.

From the British Crime Survey 2008/9

"The proportion of people who think that the CJS as a whole is fair increased from 56 per cent in the six months to March 2008 to 59 per cent in 2008/09. The proportion of people who think that the CJS as a whole is effective remained stable at 38 per cent (the apparent one per cent increase is not statistically significant)."

and:

"The BCS continues to measure perceptions of local police both in general terms and in specific aspects of their work. The 2008/09 BCS shows that 53 per cent of people thought the police in their local area were doing a good or excellent job, the same figure as in the 2007/08 survey."

Oh look:

"Readers of national ‘broadsheets’ were more likely to rate the police as doing a good or excellent job (for example, The Times, 60% compared with The Sun, 50%) and to have more confidence in the local police overall than readers of more ‘popular’ press (for example, The Times, 73% compared with The Daily Star, 59%)."

and:

"Readers of ‘broadsheets’ were more likely to agree that the CJS is both fair and effective. For example, 70 per cent of people who read The Times agreed that the CJS is fair compared with 54 per cent of readers of The Daily Express. Similarly, 49 per cent of Guardian readers agreed that the CJS is effective compared with 32 per cent of Daily Mail readers."

I say insert a 15lb frozen halibut in each new inmate on day 1 and see how many of them want to come back after that.

Ooooo you're right

Even that nice Ian McKellen famous wizard and homosexualist has been at it



Quite frankly I don't know why they don't just lock up all British actors it would probably massively reduce the crime rate worldwide.
