Why is it a scandal? Isn’t it policy in some (underlined) cases to release on licence? I wonder if the article mentions how many lifers have not been released after 6 years.
And I’m glad Linley has made £10M. Let’s hope all the money has to come back to us tax-payers, seen as though we probably paid for it all in the first place.
I read one theory that Jekyll and Hyde was a gay analogy (as well as some Hans Christien Andersen stories). Mind you, my lecturer at university thought that was stupid. Still, I’d rather like to promote it because it’s on the front of the Daily Mail today

more bollox from DE half the money goes to the treasury in death duty and the rest is going to charity I believe..
Presumably the more use of bad language on any of the issues here emphasises the degree of the moron stating it.
I think the real interesting figure would whether any of those lifers have reoffended. Not something to really get worked up about if they haven’t.

Dr Littlejohn and Mr Hitchens perhaps?
Glad the children are saved from pauperism, what with the lack of workhouses in current society and all

That DM comments thread is even more blusteringly idiotic than usual. My favourite quote:
“We need some sort of proper justice here- look at when we had the death penalty- people thought twice, serious crime was near enough non-existent.”
Serious crime was near enough non-existant! Spectacular!
“What we are witnessing is something that the likes of Hitler and the Spanish Armada could not achieve. A successful invasion and the subjugation of the English in particular.”

While trawling through the bile on the readers comments, I noticed that the Mail now has a dating agency. Now there’s a concept.
I wonder if they use different acronyms and abbreviations; no GSOH or WLTM. More BNP , WASP and the like.
Also, if you are looking for extrapolation and thin content check out the story on ‘Bosses’ and ‘Outrage’ Today.
