A light-hearted Friday quiz for budding Home Secretaries everywhere:

Today I was accosted by a serving police officer.... No he didn't nick me, but he did have some issues he wished to discuss.

An interesting article on the AOL site today. John Reid is to begin a consultation process and publish draft proposals to stop convicted criminals writing their memoirs (and presumably profiting from them).

So what is the issue here? Whilst I can see how emotive factors such as the Ian Huntley murders could be a prime mover, as progressives should Labour members and MPs be supporting this action?

Reid has drastic solutions to a drastic problem, but is he right?
