  • Unless we’re talking at cross purposes?

    The comment you first replied to was specifically about using the justice system for rehabilitation rather than revenge. If you believe in that at all (a thing that hasn't been tried nearly enough in this country and is constantly undermined by budget cuts), you really can't say "but only for the people I don't hate". In general, many people who would be suitable for the various approaches to rehabilitation are going to be people you don't like.

    Britain loves punitive justice and has done very badly by it.

  • I think we should rehabilitate even the people I hate, but regrettably in some cases it’s an absolute waste of time.
