I am a great detester of the Vermin Rights Act and the very, very perverse manner with which it has been implemented in this country.

The Vermin Rights Act is about protection of the individual and the individuals rights. So screw society as a whole and the practicalities of English Common Law based on hundreds of years of common sense. It is yet again a very unwelcome influence by Europe.

As suggested by Dave, London, had he turned around and belted one of them our great "justice" system would have thrown the book at him (the victim).

As Alan, London implied, given the obvious genetic make up of these sewer rats, no one will touch them for fear of being called racist.

Tough on the victims of crime, tough for the victims of crime. It seems the Con/Lib fiasco isn't going to change that, listening to Ken Clarke.
