Our beloved country

Whats going on ? Today I hear another news story that quite frankly is the most worrying thing ive heard ever . The Home Office today announced that it was considering allowing our courts the power to hand   out  prison sentences of up to 5 years to people who they judged to be at risk of harming children . Sounds fair enough ? Protect children . Cant argue against that , right ? Well wrong because the prison sentence would be dished even if NO ACTUAL OFFENCE HAS TAKEN PLACE !  Since when do we give prison sentences to people we THINK  might commit a crime ( however vile ) . Of course no one will bat an eye lid today because they may be seen as condoning such crimes . Of course our government will start handing out prison sentences in this fashion to the most despised people in our society because its popular . How long before they take offence at whats said or done by you or me ? Not long....
