[criminalization] where once there was innocence


The Reactionary Snob points out:

I admit my knowledge of RIPA is not what it should be but I'm not certain that trying to get a child into a school (even if the parents are intending to move out of the catchment area) is a 'serious crime'.

Stephen Pollard notes:

But surely the real point of this story is not the law under which such investigations were carried out, or their efficacy. It's rather the sheer lunacy of a school system in which catchment areas and bureaucratic diktat matter and which entails such checks.

I say the real point of the story as the iniquitous RIP Act in the first place, criminalizing where once there was no criminality.

  1. Socialism demoralises everyone. While the morality of good intentions absolves the culprits of all guilt beforehand, the result of their actions is the current pseudo fascist Dystopia. What else can we expect from a generation whose ethics have been reduced to 'make love, not war'.

  2. Couldn't help but laugh at some of the descriptions on the original story.
