Suspect Advice

Well, here's a thing. Mohammed Abdul Kahar, whom the police shot-to-protect on 2 June, released without charge and then, by an interesting coincidence, arrested for collecting child pornography on the day the IPCC reported on the incident, will not be charged with sex-crimes, either. The Crown Prosecution Service has advised the police not to prosecute, in a renewed paroxysm of outdatedness which cannot help but reinforce the perception by the Vicar of Downing Street and his pocket Tebbit, John Reid, that the law needs relaxing further so as to permit appropriate latitude for those whom the authorities choose not to suspect of anything to continue sleeping soundly in their virtuous beds. After all, if a suspected terrorist and suspected paedophile can walk away free, with no more stain on his character than the British police and the British journalist can hawk up between them over a period of five months, what will become of Tony's pledge to "harry, hassle and hound" from the country those suspected of involvement in organised crime?
