At her majesty's pleasure
After a nightmare flight from New York to London, I was thrown into a Victorian hellhole of a prison alongside drug smugglers and rapists. This is my story.

  • The Face of Evil

    I posted about this today over at my blog.

    What's truly evil about this is not the fact that he was heaved into jail and raped for five weeks on the pretext of an almost-expired (but still legal) passport simply because he dared to sass back at airline personnel over a lost laptop, but the number of goose-stepping spiritual heirs of Benito Mussolini who think that sassing a flight attendant over the loss of a $1000-plus laptop justifies his being jailed and raped.

    You people are callous and evil beyond my ability to express it.
