Yeah, it’s almost that bad.
Escaped prisoners who are on the run will not be named in case it breaches their right to privacy, civil servants have ruled.
The edict has been made even though many convicts are fully identified with photographs sent out by police at the time they go on the run.Ministry of Justice officials say the Data Protection Act means they are unable to confirm the names of escaped prisoners still at large.
Justice Secretary Jack Straw is being urged to investigate the ruling amid fears it could undermine public appeals to track down escaped prisoners.
Gee, you fokken think so, ya limey shits?
If we could focus the blast to just take out the stupid ones, I’d be in full support of a nuclear option. As it stands now, however, there is still a possible chance of the stupidity not crossing the Atlantic (though I’m sure that there are some already in the US who would praise this idea).
