Because my “hyperbole” as you call it is probably the only answer to this problem.

A good blog but why spoil it with hyperbole;

Quote, “Surely the money could be better spent on a simple chemical weapon to get rid of the lot of them?”

Surely the money could be better spent on certifying them and putting them in a secure hospital with no access to their poison for a few weeks. Now that would make them think about things.

I also await with interest the outcome, but I’m not optimistic Mr Hattersley will get the support from the courts he deserves.

Successfully suing the police for failing to do their duty would really open the floodgates, but even before that this will really hurt -

“A request to see “relevant extracts of police officers’ notebooks, files and documents that relate to the apprehension and detention of vagrants” has also been lodged under Freedom of Information Act.”

Best of luck Mr Hattersley, go for it.
