Much as Blunkett is veering us towards a republic of Draconia, the article where the guy gets arrested for posession of both a knife and a retractable baton is not worth getting upset about. Offensive weapons have been illegal in public for much longer than Blunkett has been home secretary and the guy sounds like an thoroughly dislikable person anyway, viz his comments that the police should be stopping arabs rather than him.
Funnily enough I just read the phrase "nasty, British and short" in an article (I think it was in the Independent) about British eating habits. I thought it was very clever.
as far as I understand Heroin is not damaging to the body and addicts with a supply of pharmacutical Heroin can live for many years with no problems. Its the impurities and street life which accompanies the junkie which cause all the ugliness
verstegan, whats all this about giving advances on the compensation and then charging interest at 23%? and surely the point of compensation is to compensate the person who has had their life stolen, not to stop the Home Office from facing up to the financial cost of imprisoning all and sundry

You are ignoring prima facie evidence that she's a crackhead - namely that her cheeks are sucked in, from all that drawing on the pipe
