Thus it was with Andrew Little condescendingly trivialising the sexual groping of a female prison officer in ‘alerting’ the public
Sometime in the Near Future Someone Will Be Killed and We Will Be Able to Blame Andrew Little
Andrew Little has signalled yet again that he is hell-bent on repealing the three-strikes law. God only knows why as the rationale for repeal is rather spurious: The law that resulted in a man being sentenced to seven years in jail for grabbing a prison guard’s bottom is likely
