Arrest yobs in the street, and then fit them with electronic tags. And charge them for it.

Do you even know who Blunkett is? :p

Obā-san · 2012-02-14 09:36:23

Former Home Secretary?

Ace Rimmer · 2012-02-14 09:42:59

Yes yes he was

Deny paroled prisoners the right to trial by jury, and then issue them with compulsory 'Entitlement Cards'. And charge them for it.

I can see he had authoritarian tendencies.

Post 9/11 hysteria wasn't just a thing that happened in the USA

Deport Muslims to Guantanamo Bay, and then try them in secret. And charge them for it.

Put foreigners under a curfew order, and then lock them up. And charge them for it.

This thing is vaguely unnerving. It's almost too close.

Send homeless people to an offshore processing centre, and then deport them to Guantanamo Bay.

Tachyon · 2012-02-14 09:58:52

Deny the BBC the right to trial by jury, and then put their children into care.

Obā-san · 2012-02-14 10:00:19

At least they won't be charged for it.

They probably will be, he just neglected to mention that.
