    So considering that the Greek galleys didn't use sonar, we need to stop barking at the wrong tree and find the cause of this phenomenon. My money is on the drummer.

    "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it...." is regularly attributed to Joseph Goebbels. However, I have found no evidence that he said it. Everyone quotes everyone else, but no one ever gives a source. See: http://www.bytwerk.com/gpa/falsenaziquotations.htm.

  15. Prisons don't work. on Local Police Want To Jam Wireless Signals · · Score: 1

    Recently I purchased a movie on DVD which I thought would furnish proof that man's onanistic urge could outlive mortality. Instead I found I had succumbed to another "input error" and had purchased an anodyne prison yarn entitled Dead Man Walking.

    Nonetheless, this confluence of a Death Row movie and the ineducable stupidity of a large section of our population made me think afresh about prison policy, that neglected but vital aspect of government. It's no secret that our prisons are full to bursting. Even the tactic of leaving the prison gates open at night has failed to deal with the overcrowding. And yet we incarcerate barely 0.1 per cent of our population, whereas in the United States they lock up 10 times as many.

    Old Labourites say this statistic merely proves the Yanks are vindictive crypto-fascists. I challenge this. Our tiny prison population is a reflection of the incompetence of our police forces, who manage to solve a mind-boggling 3 per cent of all crime not carried out in front of a passing Deputy Commissioner.

    Yet we all know that there are as many bad people in this country as in any other. A simple rule of thumb I employ is as follows: approximately 90 per cent of the population get on with their lives and don't bother anyone; about 9 per cent are low-level nuisances - long-term unemployed, drunks, druggies, socialists, unmarried mothers and Radio Four interviewers. These five million or so irritants need firm handling by the authorities if they aren't to disrupt society. Tagging, curfews and community service should be sufficient to control them.

    Then we come to the 0.9 per cent who comprise the underclass. Half a million people who, frankly, would be worth more if they were rendered down into their constituent elements: persistent minor offenders, animal right activists, friends of George Galloway, Asbo-boys, and women who don't shave under their arms. For these rejects, only prison will do, as I repeatedly tell Tony.
