What do you make of Jack Merritt's dad's message?

"Jack lived his principles; he believed in redemption and rehabilitation, not revenge, and he always took the side of the underdog.

"Jack was an intelligent, thoughtful and empathetic person.

"We know Jack would not want this terrible, isolated incident to be used as a pretext by the government for introducing even more draconian sentences on prisoners, or for detaining people in prison for longer than necessary,"

It's a bit weird to politicise a son's death.

I don't think he is politicising his sons death I think he is trying to stop that happening Johnson and Corbyn have already weighed in.

I do think he is wrong but you have to respect the man if that was my child I would go looking for someone so credit to him for upholding his sons views.

I blame both Tories and Labour for their policies on law and order, human rights and immigration and deportation.

They made this problem they need to sort it. Fat chance.

Clean your hands after handling those doughnuts or there’s going to be some painful friction if you’re unlucky, added stimulation if you’re lucky.

Yep, you can encourage too much empathy....moderation in all things.

Except sex and doughnuts.
