Tough on Crime (vi)

Anyone who doubts that the lunatics really have taken over the asylum should read this news report and this.

Sorting out the mess of tainted law left by Messrs Blair and Brown, and to a much lesser extent Lady Thatcher and Sir John Major, is going to take some time but (if we are lucky) at least some of the ill-conceived and ill-thought-out legislation enacted during the last ten years can simply be repealed. Eradicating the cancer of woolly thinking that has destroyed the ability of our our institutions to act sensibly and effectively is going to be rather more difficult, however.
