You’re a Free Man! Now Here’s Your Bill
I saw this story at Ravenwood’s and at Smallest Minority.
Basically, the English authorities just released a man from prison after decided he’d been wrongfully convicted. And to show just how sorry they are, they’ve presented him with a bill for room and board for all those years he was in prison.
I don’t have much to add to the commentary, but this did remind me of something. Isn’t it true that after the Soviets executed a prisoner, they’d send his family a bill for the ammunition?
UPDATE: Jeff had the story as well. I’m sure lots of other fine bloggers are all over it, too. I’m one of those people who just found out that Paul McCartney used to be in an English Quartet back in the ’60s.
