From a fire walled AFR piece.
“At the time, Starmer had such liberal beliefs on law and order that one friend has recalled him saying he did not believe in imprisonment “for anything, ever”.
He expressed similarly naive views when he was interviewed for pupillage at his first barrister’s chambers. Asked how he would defend a first-time shoplifter, he said: “Isn’t all property theft?”
I find it weird, when people laugh off leading left figures words when they were young. Do they really learn better later in life, or just how to lie better?
