Anyone would think that Vickrum Digwa had got off. He is a convicted murderer serving a life sentence, and his mother, Kiran Kaur, is not going to be given litter-picking for having hidden a murder weapon. If she is an Indian national, then she cannot hold any other nationality, since India does not allow that, so she will be deported automatically upon completion of her pretty stiff sentence. But what of the further weapons-related charges against Digwa, his father and his brother? Why have they not also been charged with perversion of the course in justice in what was a murder investigation?
Speaking of charges, Bonnie Blue of Reform UK, and whose real name, assuming that it is different, I refuse to discover by Googling her, ought at least to face something if she went ahead with her latest cunning stunt. Outraging public decency? Conspiracy to corrupt public morals? If she really is pregnant, and she has lied about that in the past, then the concern at the risk of injury or infection to her unborn child is a welcome sign that no one truly believes in nothing more than "a clump of cells" that was "part of a woman's body" such that she was free to do with it as she pleased. Yes, of course the child ought to be removed at birth from so glaringly unfit a mother.
And speaking of sentences, why should the £1.8 million fine imposed on South West Water for having supplied the people of Brixham with cryptosporidium be paid by its customers, including the victims? If the provision to fine the company's directors and senior executives in person exists, then why was it not used? Or if there is no such provision, then how soon will there be?
