		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s Daily Mail caries a story bizarre even by that publication&#8217;s usual standards. So bizarre that I was not prepared to believe it until I had obtained verification from another source. But it is true. A secondary school in Glasgow has changed its school uniform regulations and in order to frighten parents itno complying has [...]

		<description><![CDATA[As a mother of a daughter and a human being, I was revolted by Ian Huntley&#8217;s murder of two 10 year old girls. He is locked up for a sentence where it appears life will really mean life. Good. He should never be allowed to walk the streets again. I don&#8217;t believe in the death [...]

Anyone who uses Facebook knows that there are mad and stupid pages and groups on the site &#8211; and also some very good ones too. Charities and campaign groups flourish and [...]

The thought that parliamentarians may try to use Article 9 of the Bill of Rights Act 1689 as a shield against [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Two hours before David Cameron made his &#8216;dynamite&#8217; quote about the human rights of burglars, I was watching BBC1&#8242;s The Big Question. A young mother stated that she believed that paedophiles &#8216;had lost their human rights when they chose to abuse a child&#8217;. I find this rather disconcerting. Surely every human has inalienable human rights? That doesn&#8217;t [...]

The piece entitled &#8216;Minor &#8216;crimes&#8217; of the middle classes raking in a £400m fortune for cash-hungry councils&#8217; starts with the usual Mailesque jibe at fines for putting your rubbish bin out on the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Just before Christmas, the Government published two media releases on the subject of crime and sentencing. The first concerned making several ‘legal highs’ illegal; the second announced a review of the maximum sentences for dangerous driving. What grabbed my attention was the current similarity of sentences for very different crimes. Currently the maximum sentence for [...]

That puts my 12 year old daughter up there with the worst of them. [...]
