"You shall go to prison for seven months ... er ... again!"

I’ll be pretty tied up with labour and will probably be mostly unblogging here for the rest of this week. Well, unless a particularly egregious cretin winds me up sufficiently, inviting a malicious put down and a series of more or less vindictive ad hominems. Which, unfortunately, seems reasonably probable, given the Scottish Government publication today of the “detailed analyses of two year re-conviction rates for offenders up to the 2005-06 cohort, as well as one year re-conviction rates up to the 2006-07 cohort”. In short, what the 7 month prisoner did next

The answer, it may shock and stun you to discover, has implications for penal policy which will dredge the bloated, tumescent carcass of the (un)learned Richard Baker MSP before the eyes of the unwilling Scottish public once again. Joy be! In the spirit of the statistical enthusiasm governing my previous post, the full publication can be read here. Expect a bit of moronic ballyhoo on the topic imminently. I’ve a sickening, heavy-coloned feeling that somehow, the phrase “If I was First Minister”… will be negotiating its pained way with ill-merited confidence out of Iain Gray’s tetanus jaw any day now from the well of a reconvened parliament near you...

    Well, I say!- don't hold back there. Tee hee.
    P.S. I also find the prospect of more bollocks from Baker utterly vomit inducing.
