> I can’t stand the MOJ calling it “supervised discharge” because that’s the old, repealed [s25A] provision. The alternatives aren’t as catchy – “conditional discharge with a deprivation of liberty”, “CD (Dep)”, “deprivation of liberty conditional discharge”, “DOL CD” etc – the Devil has all the best tunes.

I agree!

However, the MOJ either knows it is ‘God’ or behaves like ‘God’. When you have power - you don’t need to care what anyone else below you in thinks, or says. Why? There is no consequence.

But absurdity is the hallmark of power. In another situation products that are used for vaping such as coils - are labelled as ‘Contains nicotine’ when there is no hope in hell of finding nicotine in such things. Oh yes - you read that right, in case you are ‘not a vaper’ and couldn’t care less about patients who do vape. Somebody is about to ask me ‘_Is that a personal thing? Or does this have anything to do with patients?_’
