A modest proposal
Apr. 23rd, 2006 09:05 amSo Tony Blair has laid out the latest steps in his campaign to take the "law" bit out of "law and order". I suggest he doesn't go nearly far enough. I would suggest, as a minimum, that those suspected of trafficking in peerages, for example, should be banned from certain places, maybe the House of Commons, and should have their assets seized. After all, as we know the police just don't prosecute the people guilty (or presumed guilty) of these crimes because the namby pamby civil rights lobby insists on them being given a fair trial. I would also create a new class of Anti-Socialist Bastard Order which would make it an imprisonable offence for Labour cabinet ministers to talk out of therir rectal orificies and another category of Avaricious Spouse Banishment Order that would ban Cabinet ministers from forming domestic partnerships with anyone who makes more than twice the average industrial wage.
