Re: Human Rights Act



As someone who frequently argues just to hear his own head rattle, I
suspect you of doing the same with this. Taken seriously, your argument tries to remove responsibility for damage from individual nutcases who fling a rock through Pete's window and socialize it by blaming the media. It also follows the current trend of immediately casting about for some deep pockets, no matter how remote to the matter at hand, to be forced to pay for any harm to any individual.

Perhaps the final contradiction of your position is that you want Pete to sue the media, USING THE COURT SYSTEM. If you feel the court system is so irrelevant that the *media* can impose penalties and sentences, why not engage other media (e.g., radio companies) to judge the tabloids, find them guilty, and impose and enforce penalties?
I haven't said anything about Pete suing the media.
