This is a bizarre comment, although certainly familiar. A British publication writing about a crime in England, and you're faulting it for not offering context comparing it to the American situation. As an Australian, should I expect the international press to compare every issue to my own nation's laws? Of course not. And yet the entitlement that all of the internet should cater to the American audience is alarmingly popular.
- dragontamer 8y agoI'm not "faulting" it. I'm simply commenting on my own ignorance. Especially since other directions in this thread don't seem to offer a British perspective, or an explanation. I understand that things are different over the pond. But that's about all I really understand.
- jobserunder 8y agoThis is not just a matter of custom. But of deep philosophical and metaphysical significance that we discovered the principle of anti self incrimination. The moral relativists would have you believe that these fundamental principles are merely fashions, like the type of coats or hats people wear. Next thing you know... we will be defining North Korea or Saudi Arabia for sending people to slave work camps because they didn't bow down to the leader fast enough and then brush it off as mere "custom". Absolutely apalling state of UK in terms of erosion of principles of life and liberty ans freedom.
