From Bees to Sheep

I am reminded of returning home late one night to find that a truck loaded with sheep had overturned on the M61/A580 junction in Manchester. While feeling very sorry for the poor sheep, the sight of some 30 + policemen - some wearing wellies - chasing terrified sheep all over the motorway and surrounding fields was priceless.

Where is the videocam when you need it.

Not a reflection of the facts

Hi

Having read the judges comments, I think this article refered to a different case !

If I read it correctly, even his mates said he spoke in support of terrorism.

The Jury, having been offered the choice, decided he had the material to promote terrorism not just for idle curiosity.

I too am concerned that the law seems to allow anyone in posession of anything that could be used in an antisocial manner to be locked up. Irrespective of intent to inflict harm on anyone. However, this doesn't look like an example.
