Re: English Justice? - Or lack of it?
Fair enough Wolster...I wasn't very clear.
There's been an art exhibition closed here in the last fortnight and some photos have been seized. Apparently they depict naked girls of around twelve and thirteen in strictly non-sexual contexts. They're portraits.
The hoo-ha has centred around the girls' alleged inability to give consent to the photographer because 'they are too young to appreciate the full ramifications of their actions'. My statement above was pointing to the 'inability' of these 'victims' but at the same time, the 'perpetrators' who killed Jamie Bulger, who were younger than the photographed girls are supposedly fully aware and able to grasp the enormity of what they were doing.
Again I say nothing can excuse the crime, but I see a double standard. Not in you specifically, just in us as a society.
