Peter McKay the voice of reason?
"Was it sensible for officers at Ford Open Prison to breathalyse prisoners around midnight on New Year’s Eve? During the subsequent riot, fires destroyed six blocks, a mail room, gym, snooker room and pool room (it sounds grander than White’s club).
The management of the prison knew alcohol (as well as other forbidden items) was being carried into Ford. Local residents told them all about it. So why not just find the stuff before it’s consumed?
Breathalysing prisoners around midnight on New Year’s Eve is stupid. By all means punish the rioters (as prisons minister Crispin Blunt suggests), but discipline whoever was responsible for the untimely breath test".
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.
