We recall the 19Hateys ongoing unchecked phoney-Anglophone Fraud Market mashed by nice, out-gay ex-Tory Matthew Parris.
March '97, Matthew shreds his erstwhile co-Tory tart coward Howard's then new "Sex Offender Register" (1st ever 'register' in peacetime UK?).
Paraphrased: " This inhuman, discriminatory register is just for last-gasp Tory votes. It will do no good, and will just drive ex-offenders underground and off the radar."
Coventry-Man remembers Matthew, from, 'The Best Of Questionable Time?'
" The most memorable contribution I can remember was from Matthew Parris, who had the courage to argue (post-Soham) that convicted paedophiles who have served their prison sentences have the same right to be allowed to get on with their lives as anyone else, while the rest of the panel pandered to the tabloid scare factory.
