Today's question- why is Home Secretary David Blunkett such a monstrously incompetent, bulging sack of monkey ****? Let's check the news of the day. The Sunday Times reports that Mr Blunkett is attempting to block the repatriation of British captives at Guantanamo Bay, on the grounds that they would have to be released in Britain.
The reason why they would have to be released is that there isn't sufficient evidence to convict them. Now at some point in your life you may have encountered the concept of "innocent until proven guilty"- just how valuable a concept do you feel that is? David Blunkett is blocking the repatriation of British citizens on the grounds that he thinks they won't be convicted in a British criminal court. In other words, he is declaring a lack of faith in the British judicial system's ability to administer justice.
Bear in mind that he's the Home Secreatary. Yup- that's right. He's in charge of the British judicial system. Isn't that somewhat akin to the Pope declaring himself to be an atheist? Or George W Bush whipping off his mask to reveal the grinning beardy face of Osama Bin Laden? It's off the scale, isn't it? "Yes, I've been in charge of the British judicial system since 2001 and to be perfectly honest I'd rather leave British citizens locked up without charge abroad, in the knowledge that mild forms of torture have been approved for use on them, rather than give them a fair trial in a British Crown Court".
It's unbelievable. Why isn't he publicly flagellating himself while screaming for forgiveness for being an utter failure? I live in the hope that he's mistakenly thought a large studded dildo was in fact his Braille transcription of their custody records, and has read erroneous messages of national security warnings into the silicone skin of a "Magnum Anal Invader". The thought that he's actually not making some monstrous error is too scary to contemplate- we'd have to conclude the the person in charge of Britain's law enforcement has absolutely no belief in Habaeus Corpus and the rule of law and is prepared to bypass those concepts. Terrifying, isn't it?
