I don't think there's any need to draw battle lines and declare people
enemies. What he wants is for fewer children to be injured. We agree
on that. I pointed out to him that his proposed quick fix was only
going to affect a minority of a minority of a minority, and I think he
accepts that as well. If we can agree on a *better* action that we
can all support and which will have a wider and more profound impact,
then that's a good thing, surely?

You sound almost reasonable.

That depends.

AIUI other countries have moved towards strict liability, why do you
think the UK is different?

For a start, we've always had this odd preference for proper justice and
for not punishing the innocent. We all know that this has not always
been adhered to elsewhere.

Best joke of the day - so far.
Keep it up.
