Re: "Serious Crime Bill"?
Hacker: I look down on him because I do serious crime.
Murderer: I look up to him ↑ because he does serious crime; but I look down on him ↓ because he is just a bit of a lad. I don't do very serious crime.
Bit of a lad: I know my place. I look up to them both. But I don't look up to the murderer as much as I look up to then hacker, because he has got real terrorist potential.
Hacker: I have got real terrorist potential, but I don't kill people. So sometimes I look up to the murderer.
Murderer: I still look up to the hacker because although I kill people, I am vulgar. But I am not as vulgar as the lad so I still look down on him.
Lad: I know my place. I look up to them both; but while I am a penniless thieving wanker, I am industrious and trustworthy. Had I the inclination, I could look down on them. But I don't.
We all know our place, but what do we get out of it?
Hacker: I get life in jail.
Murderer: I get 5 years and a feeling of inferiority from the hacker, but a feeling of superiority over the thieving wankers.
Lad: I get stopped and searched. Every day.
