Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 This made me smile, its from the comments section of the sunday times.......... Nominations will soon be closing for this year’s Ludicrous Hate Crime Awards, wherein our regional constabularies vie with one another for the most stupid or surreal prosecution under hate crime legislation. The winner gets a night out on the town with the Met’s Sir Ian Blair and the chance to design a rubber wristband opposing a new sort of hate crime that nobody has yet thought of. The Met, as ever, looks a good bet for top place with their wonderful prosecution of two Tube workers who were wrongly accused of biting the heads off some black jelly babies in a racially intimidating manner. It took 2 years and cost £250,000 to prosecute Carlo Rozza and Victor Cooney. It took the jury 58 minutes to realise that the charges were fantastically stupid. However, some experts suspect that Central Scotland police might snatch this year’s title with their brilliant but aborted prosecution of Ronnie Hutton, a mechanic from Stirling, for “revving his car in a racist manner”. Thames Valley police, meanwhile, are expected to receive lifetime achievement awards for arresting a chap who suggested that a police horse might be “gay”, thus — according to the boys in blue — causing offence and distress to “both the police officer and his horse”. The awards will be presented early next month when someone is out twoccing your car or stabbing your son. Peter H Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.
