Lion in Winter

Is it just me, or is this depressing? Lowering the standard of proof so as to get more convictions ???????!!!

Alas, poor England.

Well, looks as thought it's just me all right. I'll just have to go and cry in my HP sauce.

Tough one. I somewhat tend to agree with what he is advocating. If it keeps these people off the streets then I say go for it. The majority of so called British subjects charged with terrorism are originally from other countries. The name Feroz Abbasi is hardly the same as John Smith now is it. I'll bet he was not born in the UK. If this gentleman came from say Pakistan or some such place would there still be such a hue and cry about it, I think not. Just my opinion on having a quick read of the story.

Innocent until proven guilty my arse ( to quote Mr James Royle ! )

Have you only just worked that out?

I knew that from an early age effi. The police are but the rich man's army, in the UK they care more about crimes against property than crimes against the person.
