Well, on Friday we got our answer, as you may have seen in the paper. The girl of 16 who chucked Kilo into the Thames in London after a drunken night out smirked as Judge Sue Green let her off with a supervision order. She must also write a personal letter of apology to the crew of HMS Belfast.
And that's about it. The judge ticked her off but said she did not think a more serious sentence, such as custody, was necessary. That attitude - implying that it was just a cat so it doesn't matter - is part of the reason we end up with infants like Baby P being tortured to death in our so-called civilised society.
A civilised society should not shrug its shoulders at animal cruelty. Otherwise it takes a step away from civilisation and another step towards the barbarity that happened in Haringey. And if judges will not draw the line, who will?
I am not saying that the girl who killed Kilo will end up badly. I fervently hope she won't, although she didn't show much regret with her rude and ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
