UK Bans Sending Books To Prisoners
Hugh Pickens DOT Com writes: "Alan Travis and Mark Tran report in The Guardian that new rules introduced by the justice secretary in the UK ban anyone sending in books to prisoners It's part of a new earned-incentives and privileges scheme, which allows better-behaved prisoners to get better access to funds to buy their own books. But members of Britain's literary establishment have combined to condemn Justice Secretary Chris Grayling's ban on sending books to prisoners. 'While we understand that prisons must be able to apply incentives to reward good behavior by prisoners, we do not believe that education and reading should be part of that policy,' says a letter signed by more than 80 leading authors. 'Books represent a lifeline behind bars, a way of nourishing the mind and filling the many hours that prisoners spend locked in their cells. In an environment with no internet access and only limited library facilities, books become all the more important.' Prime Minister David Cameron's official spokesman says the prime minister backs the ban on receiving books and entirely supports Grayling, whose department imposed the ban to preserve a rigid system of rewards and punishments for prisoners and said there was no need for prisoners to be sent books as prisoners could borrow from prison libraries and keep some reading material in their cells. However a former prisoner told the Guardian that although libraries existed, access could be severely restricted, particularly in closed prisons. 'I've been in places where prisoners only get 20 minutes a week to visit the library and change books.'"
The Muslims should be expelled.
This being Slashdot, where one may excoriate adherents of other Superstitions, why not consider sending Muslims who are declared enemies of Western culture and whose only political function (religion is NOTHING more than political ideology based on superstition, which is why religion and the religious merit no respect) is the fight to make societies Islamic. Muslims are toxic because they spread Islam. Anyone doubting this is invited to sell Bibles or Atheist literature near the Kaaba at the next Haj. Religion is not race, religion is not ethnicity, but religion is politics as surely as Communism and Nazism.
The only good Muslim is a dead one, and there is no moral obligation to enemies. Europe should purge itself of Islam by force, sending the enemy back to its proper home in Arabia and northern Africa.
It's time to discuss getting rid of the laws designed to protect good people which have no other real effect than blowback. No one not a Muslim has a better life because Muslims are allowed to infest their country.
