    Death Threats Made Vs Straw and May

    BBC News - Jack Straw and Theresa May death threats: Man arrested (c) Auntie

    Quite why a 33 yr old Local Govt Official would want to make death threats against his MP (and former Foreign/Home Secretary, and the current Home Secretary) I wouldn't like to speculate.

    I wouldn't like to but I shall. I would suggest that they have family or friends on the sub-continent and feel aggrieved at the way that the UK is pursuing its perceived national interest. Just in time to stoke up bad feelings on all sides of the community what with the local elections coming up.

    Wasn't going to. More concerned with the other bellends who see provocation in the Taj Mahal (cf Twitter a few days ago).

    There's no chance whatsoever a jury will accept an insanity plea.
    We need people who look to the stars, holding the nation and the world in their hearts but at the same time we need down-to-earth people who can do serious and trying work.

    In a definite sense, a country's power and prestige isn't only a reflection of its economic power but also a reflection of its people's quality and morality. Moreover, I think the latter is actually more important in the long-term.

    You watch; loads of people get lifted by uniform on "threats to kill", by the time they've been dealt with a s5 Public Order Act fixed penalty notice has been issued.

    Maybe this one can have a harrassment warning or something similar.

    Unless it is actually meets all the points to prove for "threats to kill", which is a bit tricky to convict on.
