The Independent has a very good leader entitled Philip Lawrence murder: Case for redemption? And, this related article is also worth reading Crime and punishment. Compared to the rantings and ravings of David Cameron and Tony McNulty they provide a refreshing breath of fresh air.
This is also an interesting article PC killers charged with stabbing prisoner. It also refers to terrorists coming under attack in prison from other prisoners.

A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
Now, the independent piece actually sounds as though it is written by a human being. About time.
ReplyDeleteIn the article on the prison stabbing, though, I don't quite see where the bit about the alleged terrorists getting attacked fits in, it seems like a bit of a stray appendage to the story. Not surprising though. It would be naive to assume the security services don't have their stooges on the inside as well - if they need them with so many Sun readers around!
