That would be a fairly accurate prognosis, Blue_2.
Please discuss the subject at hand, rather than critiquing one another’s respective powers of rhetoric.

I suppose he’s entitled to his opinion.
Good luck to him in finding people who share it.
If the allegations against him are proven in court, Venables will have had his chance – and blown it.

Yes, 27vet.
Because everyone in India wears a turban, don’t they? :rolleyes:
I suppose childish racial sterotypes do have their place, but this isn’t it.

Yes, Kev. In this instance, I’m afraid you clearly are.
Regarding their ages, people can’t have it both ways. They were tried and treated as children, which appears to be what several people, including yourself have advocated.
Please show me where I have advocated anything in this thread, Kev. To the best of my knowledge, I have advocated nothing.
I have, however, pointed out demonstrable facts – such as the age of the two defendants at the time they committed this terrible crime.
Perhaps you’re mistaking me for someone else?

You can repeat it as many times as you like, and it will change nothing.
Insisting a thing is so does not make it so.

What you seem to be saying is that, in certain specific cases, the normal rules that govern the application of justice should be set aside.
So who would get to choose when this happens?
You?
Me?
The editor of the Sun?
People who dial the premium rate number given at the end of “Burn The Devil Children With Ant & Dec“?
Who?
Some things really are easier said than done.
