Human rights are not worthy of the name if they do not protect the people we don't like as well as those we do.

Bleak House by Charles Dickens is my favourite book.

Once you start to provide public services that have to be run under public rules, for example child protection, then it has to go with public law. Institutions have to make a decision whether they want to do that or they don't want to do that.

We need more male black teachers, tempting them with extra cash if necessary.

You can't say 'because we decide we're different then we need a different set of laws.

Prison service vans that travel 90 miles to take a prisoner 90 yards; paedophiles free to leer at children in the very parks where they have committed horrific crimes.

Across the board, people are looking at the problem, but simply not changing anywhere near fast enough.
