I’ve blogged today about how a liberal-left Dutch wingnut thinks stay-at-home moms with university degrees are bad, and should be punished by the state. And how the extreme-left (Marxist?) British Columbia teachers union is going to advocate a “Brokeback Mountain lesson plan” for our kids to familiarize the young ’uns to the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered set.
Now the British liberal-left get their turn at the bat. (The moonbat?)

Good Time to Be a Burglar in Britain
You know how sometimes you get stopped by a cop for a traffic violation, and for whatever reason—maybe you weren’t going too fast, maybe there are no other cars nearby, maybe the cop’s in a good mood—he lets you go with a warning?
That’s what Britain will now be doing with burglars: “Let burglars off with caution’, police told. (Hat tip: zombie.)
Burglars will be allowed to escape without punishment under new instructions sent to all police forces. Police have been told they can let them off the threat of a court appearance and instead allow them to go with a caution.
The same leniency will be shown to criminals responsible for more than 60 other different offences, ranging from arson through vandalism to sex with underage girls.
New rules sent to police chiefs by the Home Office set out how seriously various crimes should be regarded, and when offenders who admit to them should be sent home with a caution.
A caution counts as a criminal record but means the offender does not face a court appearance which would be likely to end in a fine, a community punishment or jail.
