Sexual offenders

The day that our well-endowed Home Secretary announced new plans to deal with the control of sex offenders was rather spoiled by the former Gary Glitter making a nonsense of the seemingly simple process of getting him onto a UK-bound flight.

Sort of a reverse of the government tactic of releasing bad news on a day when major world events would steal the headlines and inner page space.

It would seem, however, for it to have worked where a report into massive cock-ups on sexual offender control should have attained wider publicity. 

We are told that police boots on the pavement are restricted by the time they have to spend processing reports and other documentation. Looks as if something is restricting their efficiency in this work that keeps them off the street. Looks as if we cannot just win.
