But you poopooed the idea that the Italians were involved in Litvinenko's murder. <br /><br />Yet he revealed that Romano Prodi was the KGB's top agent in Italy, and he was of course head of the EU Commission. The threat from Litvinenko to Italy and the EU was greater than it was to Russia.<br /><br />Scaramella checks out as having acrried around Polonium. It looks increasingly like an Italian job.Tapestryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267094484651413428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-45821607431250695642006-12-01T16:14:00.000+00:002006-12-01T16:14:00.000+00:00I enjoyed Doughty Street last night.

...You were very good on Doughty Street last night!<br /><br />Re prisons - this is another socialist idea jotted down on the back of an envelope. A new and exciting initiative. With all the crime in their country, I think the British get quite enough excitement wondering whether their car will be intact in the parking lot.<br /><br />I have a better solution that I mentioned on a blog once before, but didn't get any takers. Bear with me; there is a point.<br /><br />Almost all crime is committed by young men - up to around age 35 or 40. Therefore:<br /><br />First offence: six months. No parole. Just long enough to get a taste of how awful losing one's freedom is.<br /><br />Second offence: set term of two years. No parole. Gives them a chance to realise the grinding boredom and constraints. (No TV, BTW. No gyms. Just an exercise yard.)<br /><br />Third offence: Proven recidivist. Banged up until 35th birthday. Mandatory. No parole. When he gets out, his old mates will have split up; some will be married or shacked up with children. Some may even be employed. Anyway, most of them will have retired from crime.<br /><br />This would require a huge increase in prison accommodation. However,I suggest that they be designed to be easily convertible to luxury apartments. As the bulge goes through, prisons could be vacated one by one and sold off privately to recoup most of the investment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-45112538865090181212006-12-01T14:55:00.000+00:002006-12-01T14:55:00.000+00:00Does this mark the high tide of Government providi...Does this mark the high tide of Government providing essential public services such as law and order and defence?<br /><br />Will investors need third party fire and theft insurance!?!Snafuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16069053283344578792noreply@blogger.com
