    Will that be cash, check, or charge?

    The people who brought you A Modest Proposal are back with more fun and hilarity... :

    What do you give someone who’s been proved innocent after spending the best part of their life behind bars, wrongfully convicted of a crime they didn’t commit?

    An apology, maybe? Counselling? Champagne? Compensation? Well, if you’re David Blunkett, the Labour Home Secretary, the choice is simple: you give them a big, fat bill for the cost of board and lodgings for the time they spent freeloading at Her Majesty’s Pleasure in British prisons.

      The first one is a satire by Jonathan Swift. (He of Gulliver's Travels).

      The second is really truly from the newspaper!

        That is the most absurd thing I have read in a long time.
