Should I have the legal right to ban you from approaching within 10 miles of my house on the basis that you might know someone who was once a burglar? It's OK I promise not to use that power as I know you're innocent but I must be granted that power over you. |
It was the less sensationalistic (geez, thats a long word for me!) aspect to the report I was talking about. The original report by the Independant was so sensationalistic (and again!
) and badly written,it was childish to say the least.
I still have no time for protests, however, they've already created enough publicity for their cause I doubt any protest in necessary!
