It was a joke. And surely improving the environment including the air we breat is improving our lives?

I don’t disagree. But I do think that giving them a kicking is going to far.

You would know all about, Batman!

I was kidding. Unfortunately it isn’t against the law to be an ar5ehole.

Just listened to Ghosteen by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Very emotive but not for you if you are in a party mood!

Lofty principles? I’d like to see all far right supporters locked up.

Don’t forget your stab vest.

Perhaps the protesters are better off letting everyone else burn in hell? It comes to something when you get a kicking from the very people whose lives you are trying to improve.

Classic Dom.

Yeah, my bad! But I would make an exception on hypo’s case!

I’ve been busy. Ok, first off I would suggest that their fines are paid in to a charity that specifically helps a black community. I would put them into a programme that would both educate them about the effects of racism and also deals with their racist mindset. Finally I would give them a long period of community service in an ethnic minority area so that they can give something back to the people they revile and also spend meaningful time with them which might help build some bridges. Punishment is one thing but it isn’t going to change their behaviour. Some punishment and a lot of education might be a start. What do you suggest?

They would throw away the key.

More than what they received.

That’s taking it too far surely?

Have we been reading the same thread? But then you do support Katie Hopkins so I guess we read things differently.

It’s a sad state of affairs. It wasn’t that long ago that we were laughing at the state of America having elected Trump. Now look at us!

After hypos kill on sight post I read a couple of reports from America about inmates killing inmates in prison. It appears to be far more prevalent over there and there are many incidents of guards turning a blind eye when attacks are made. It also appears that the attacks are generally aimed at sex offenders rather than just child sex offenders over there.

Good, then we agree that vigilante justice is not a good thing.

If Boris is convinced that it is such a wonderful deal let’s put it to the people. Let’s have a referendum either for the deal of to revoke Article 50. We can then have a GE to a elect a Government who will either spend the next life of Parliament sorting out the messy details of Brexit or getting the country back on its feet again after the last 3 wasted years.

I was hoping for more than a slap on the wrist. This hardly sends the message that their behaviour is unacceptable does it?

I don’t think I have asked the question why. I can see why. I just think it is a bit rich that some people who have committed criminal acts to the extent that they are serving long term jail sentences think it is ok to judge other people and to take their lives, especially if they have committed similar offences themselves. Still, I expect Priti Patel is all for it.

Indeed. So how does that compute? I assume the murderer took the moral high ground but he is hardly in a position to do that. We are making that assumption though. It could have been caused by a variety of things.

I didn’t say you said it was okay. I asked you if you thought it was ok. Perhaps read what I say before your throw your toys out of the pram. So do you think it is ok?

There are as you say millions of injustices. People taking the law into their own hands and committing murder is one of them. This man was tried, convicted and was serving his sentence. He was not sentenced to death.

I see, so we are taking morality lessons from convicted criminals now are we? Perhaps we should do away with the judiciary and let the inmates of Wormwood Scrubs dispense justice? I’ll ask you the same question that I asked Whelk. Do you think that this was ok?
