  • This bit of the post from the other page;

    How fucking obvious does it have to be before the penal system is seen as the vast net detriment it actually is? Are people really that fearful and easily turned against each other?

    Why is it so hard for us to see who we really need to turn against?

    I recognise that there are a lot of problems with our current system, so I'm curious about what the progressive answer is to what I'd say has been my most common experience of crime.

    And honestly, sure it's something that does illicit a reactionary gut response. But the question stands.

  • Bollocks it does. This started with a miscarriage of justice, Kimmo went all Jacobin and Eat the Rich, and I was actually trying to talk them down, only for you to steam in from the opposite direction all Kelvin MacKenzie. I was only talking about benefit cheats, but apparently I'm trying to make excuses for GBH I shudder to think what monstrous crimes you'd accuse me of condoning if I'd mentioned that, until very recently, we were imprisoning people for not paying their license fee: paedophilia? Mass murder?
