"OK, the teache...a nasty precedent in Europe;<br /><br /><i>"OK, the teacher has been arrested in France, is being held captive in a French prison, pending extradition to Britain, for doing something which is not illegal in France.<br /><br />You may well sympathize with the state on this issue. But this action by the French and British authorities sets such an almighty precedent, I hardly know where to start. Expect it to be invoked on all manner of issues, none of which have to do with minors. A woman in Britain, a Saudi national, is observed on a date with a man who is not her husband. Or sunbaking in a bikini. A Chinese national in Britain is seen surfing dissident websites. An Indonesian tourist is spotted purchasing cannabis in an Amsterdam café. All these acts carry penalties in the participants’ home countries, far greater than anything this teacher faces when he lands back in England. I wonder if they have really thought this through."</i><br /><br />http://libertygibbert.wordpress.com/2012/09/25/getting-the-government-we-deserve/#comment-29464Luton Iannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-42794433648169147592012-09-29T18:33:28.689-07:002012-09-29T18:33:28.689-07:00I saw this and looked into it.
