I am appalled & dismayed by David Cameron’s attitude to the Supreme Court’s ruling about a right of appeal for those on the sex offenders register.
Even the BBC radio news summaries & The Times report of today talk of ‘rapists & paedophiles’ being allowed to appeal, as if that were the same as getting away with it.
The worst kind of politics - or could it be a clever way to defuse & diffuse what is bound to be a convulsive & emotional response from the public – much as Mrs Thatcher’s remark about addressing people’s feelings about being ’swamped’ by immigration was thought to have been a clever way of taking the wind out of the BNP’s sails all those years ago?
