I always felt that Peter Jackson left out the best part of our taxpayer funded Aryan fantasy documentary ‘Lord Of The Rings’ when he cut the ‘Scouring of the Shire’ where Frodo returns home to find the very evil he had fought to protect the Shire from had already settled in.

This isn’t a Left or Right wing issue, it’s about justice and the values we have built into that justice system.

The irony of all of this is that there now must be an inquiry – NOT into how the Police arrived at this stupid decision, but into how the fuck this was leaked out of the Intelligence Unit and given to Slater with such precision he knew how to word the OIA request!
