As you chose to write to me about my story Seed Of Doubt anonymously, I cannot reply to you in person. so I've chosen to do it here.
so I say to you my friend that are a complete twat, for numerous reasons.
1. You haven't got the guts to identify yourself so you can receive this message privately, which I'd have much preferred.
2. You chose to make a statement about a legal issue in a story without being in possession of all the facts. As the complete story has not yet been posted you can't be aware of facts that come to light later in the yarn.
3 You seem to be under the illusion that laws are applied fairly and equally to everybody. I hate to disillusion you my friend but I can assure you that they are not! All laws are enforced by human beings who unfortunately suffer from the twin curses of fallibility or/and corruptibility.
There are other problems with the all laws as well; like who you are, how rich you are, who owes you a favour, whose arse you're prepared to kiss and that is only small part of a very long list.
So my friend when you stop being a complete twat and open your eyes, you will understand that what I've said is true.
