Jailhouse Lawyer: On Dare to Get "Paedophile" in More Headlines?
Another strange headline from Mr Hirst, and he a lawyer and all. The story really being that the powers that be are tracking suspected Islamic terrorists in the community using methods used for e.g. sex offenders.
You'd think the powers that be could use the fairly successful methods employed to keep tabs on Irish revolutionary republicans, members of Militant, and Russian spies rather than the wholly unsuccessful methods used with sex offenders and other probationers.
Can we now also expect a return of "bog police" in the roofs of the ablutions at our mosques, not to mention BNP covens?
CAPTION: Sir Paul Condon blends in with Sikh suspects. Tribune of India.

I will concede that the headline does not reflect the content of the story. And, I am the first to attack the MSM for doing this. However, whereas the MSM does it in a deliberate misrepresentation of the follwing story. Mine is to highlight the practice and who will be monitored next using this same practice. For example, prisoners have ID Cards. And prisoners were first to be subjected to imprisonment now on the belief that they might commit an offence in the future. The Mental Health Bill is seeking to imprison those deemed to be dangerous but have not committed any crime. It will be extended to cover other groups and other people.
Agreed with some of the above. Should get a new Sub-Editor in though. Those headlines are undermining your stories. Probably more so than the MainStreamMedia who rarely go so far.
Have not read the Mental Health Bill or even a summary. How delinquent of me! But I guess you'd agree that there have been some very bad cases of both dangerous patient-probationers and dangerous sex-probationers? And that something might need to be improved?
Just not in the ways THO propose?
