SO what now, Mr Straw? More legislation? Jobs for those in your profession?
The murder of Jill Dando has caused a huge outburst and shock, but already excuses are being compiled.
All the verbiage issuing from the Home Office over many years has not reduced crime but, in my opinion, has encouraged it.
For no matter how horrid, bizarre or whatever, there will be someone to defend. Should that defence fail, well, the worst one can expect is the loss of some liberty.
Due to criminal activities many have lost liberty; some, life. When, then, Mr Straw, will the murderer lose a life?
How? Bring back the death penalty. Stop blubbering.
