Quick answer to Sue Reid's latest question

'Eighteen years after an Act outlawing them... why are the devil dogs still killing our children?' asks Sue Reid in her latest Daily Mail masterpiece.  Well, I'll tell you.

It's because the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 was a rubbish, ill thought out piece of legislation that was hastily brought in to placate the tabloids, who had whipped up such a perfect moral panic that it's used in textbooks as a case study.  You know, the one that coined the term 'Devil Dogs' you're using in this new moral panic the tabloids are whipping up.  Now a question for you - is whipping up moral panics the best way to deal with problems?

Disgraceful fact-free scaremongering from Sue Reid at the Daily Mail

See the picture on the left?  Nice, isn't it?  Cutie little sick kiddie and nurse.  Warms the cockles of your heart.  Who'd look at that and not smile and think, "ahhhhh.  Innat nice?"

The answer is Sue Reid, lazy disgrace of a Daily Mail hack, who in October 2007 offered money and free accommodation in her Fulham flat to Polish people - provided they'd come to London in their Polish registered car and break traffic laws so she could take pictures for a story about how Polish people come to Britain and break the law in their Polish registered cars.  In August this year, she compared the number of jobseekers in some areas in a one month period with the number of migrants in these areas over a whole year to make it look like there were more migrants competing for work in those areas than there actually were.  Class act.
