Sick Criminals

Is there anybody that the government does not want to tag and control? First they propose imprisoning the mentally ill indefinitely without trial even if they have done nothing (under Labour, if you're paranoid they are out to get you). And yes I do mean imprisoning, there is no treatment going to be offered as this bill is about people for whom there is no treatment available. If there was they could be sectioned under the existing mental health act.

Now Labour also want to tag people elderly people with dementia apparently to give them "freedom to roam around their communities." Rather like sheep free to roam the moors, before they are taken down to be sheared for their fleeces or sent to the abattoir. Not that the elderly get sent to the abattoir (even if the NHS is getting that way) though they certainly get fleeced.

The range of 'crimes' created by Labour just grows and grows, now even illness is becoming a crime. Serious illness will get you in jailed, less serious illness and you get off with a lighter sentence of being electronically tagged and under 24 hour surveillance. And of course all without the nascence of trial or evidence. But I guess the NHS might finally have chance of offering a good service if all the ill people are in prison rather than cluttering up the hospitals.
