    What a good idea, or maybe not...

    To cut down on the number of ruined Xmas' in Denmark this year the local plod have gone out and picked up as many burglars as possible and thrown them in gaol as a preventative measure.

    What does the congregation think of that as a crime fighting idea?

    I think it's a great idea. I want to write the list though!

            maybe they can lock up all the boozers, drink drivers and wife beaters too, to offer some respite for the festive period. I hear domestic violence and drink driving offences increase around xmas (no source to cite I'm afraid) so locking up people with previous in this domain would seem to be along the same lines as this proposal.

              Keep going, you're starting to interest me now. Nothing's a deal-breaker yet.

                    No. We'll be needing them again soon. Liberals on the other hand can be removed form society without there being a problem.
