JP says 'The Sun has gone too far'

My esteemed colleague JP is still sceptical about this whole blog thing. Perhaps we can persuade him to start posting. But in the meantime here are his thoughts on The Sun and Abu Hamza:

JP says:

"Hamza is a disgusting and dangerous individual, The Sun (!) has actually done some good work in highlighting his excesses, and I sometimes find myself in the "hanging's too good for them" school for these types - but even so, I find The Sun's 'congratulations' message below distasteful and wrong. Perhaps I'm getting inconsistent / bleeding-hearted in my old age?"

The Sun's Story:

Was it a right hook?
By Neil Syson
HOOK-HANDED Abu Hamza has been viciously attacked by a fellow jail inmate, it emerged last night. The fanatical Muslim cleric, 47, was thumped inside London’s top-security Belmarsh prison, a jail source said.

DID you whack Hook? If so call The Sun on 020 7782 4105. And by the way,
WELL DONE!

Hamza 'beaten in jail'


JP is showing an uncharacteristically liberal side here. Let's hope he will join this blog himself soon.

Update - you can now read a response from Seb here.
