I put this up because I think it is a very significant statement from such a high profile person in such dodgy times. Student Forget the paranoiac paraphernalia of national databases, identity cards and all the other liberty-sapping addictions of the Home Office. Forget the rhetoric and do something useful. If the Government really wants to protect people beyond armoured-vest posturing, here is the opportunity.Do they really believe that an illiterate mother-of-five drug mule from a village in The Gambia should be serving five times the sentence of a millionaire City fraudster? |

As it happens, the tv3 politics presenter stood outside the Dail this afternoon and quoted from this story. So if they havent read it, they have definitly heard it.
I took you at your word and I have read it, very interesting, and does make a lot of sense.
But what bothers me about it is, have they read it in Government Buildings?, I doubt that they have its too much for that brainless shower to absorb, never mind understand.
Great story. I dont read the London Times and I wouldn't have come across this.
I recommend everyone reads the full commentary. It shows a sort of sociological view from the top. Weird times or what?
