stansaintly:
Injustice and malicious verdict! Does it mean the like of magistrates and co haven’t ever seen, touched, heard that political thieves are the worst of all crimes? Misplaced priority. Jail political thieves and others will “pick dressing” but when you jail a man because of bread, our baron of incompetent political leaders will say office looting is best lucrative business.

There was a time power and strength has another meaning.
The meaning they have now is summed up in your comment. Be connected and you’re powerful even if deep down there’s a weak, feebly minded jelly
