Hacker's mum to stand against Jack Straw for the General Election !!!

[centurian]

I'm surprised she's going after Jack Straw so vigourously. While the treaty was a mistake by not having parity, I doubt he would have avoided extradition under the old rules anyway.

The debate about McKinnon isn't whether he did what he did (he pretty much admitted it), but whether the likely punishment fits the (disputed) amount of damage done - and this is largely irrelevant to the treaty changes.

Still, if she can give Jack a good kicking, then go for it

Not really bold & brave IMO. Just a bit of fun.

Running for election is on my list of top 10 things to do before I die list. A friend of mine has run in the last three elections.

Never gets his deposit back.

I dont know this is still true, but at one time candidates got free postage to sent their bumph out to every household in the constituency.

"MF is the owner of TatShop" isn't really advertising is it?

I'd run under the premise of weekly bin collections and reduced council tax under the None of the Above Party

She'll just split the opposition vote and get branded a nutter by Labour.

And we'll still have Useless Jack.

Slightly IT geeky bloke with Aspergers, lacks social skills does something he shouldn't have done and then tries to argue the toss to get away with it.

Are you talking about Jack Straw?

[centurian]

She'll just split the opposition vote and get branded a terrorist and shipped off to Gitmo with her son by Labour.

FTFY

They'd have a point.

I was considering standing for election on behalf of the anonymous sperm donors society; I would not be too concerned over loosing my deposit.

She's got my vote. And I can actually vote for her!

Why does she have your vote?

Because her son hacked into systems apparently looking for UFO's but left a string of diatribes against the US governments involvement in Iraq? Doesnt sound like the sort of thing a 'ufo spotter' would do.

Or is it because of his Aspergers. A condition that was diagnosed AFTER his crime and also a condition which if you asked 99% of the population would not have a clue as to how that mitigates his circumstance.

A person with Aspergers is not a total retard who doesn't know right from wrong.

He's avoided justice for a decade now. He should at least be glad about that.
