Catch 22: Guilty/Not Guilty

There are two ways that criminals get away with crime in this country.

1) Plan it carefully, strike, make good their escape.
2) Don't bother with much planning, do a botched job, then claim all this as evidence that they never intended to do it anyway.

Of course, our wonderful Criminal Justice System is there to nose out the lying scum. You may remember this rock solid institution from such triumphs as "Sentencing Guidelines" and "The Prison Service". We can soon expect to see these issues handed over to a brand spanking new Ministry for Justice, as part of the government's commitment to splitting things into smaller pieces in order to stick them back together again later.

I do not agree with those critics who worry that the move to break the Home Office into two will cause a breakdown in communication giving rise to blunders. I am instead confident that there will be exactly the same quality of communication that there always has.

To split or not to split: it makes not the blindest bit of difference as long as this hero has anything to do with it.
