Ransoming mom given reward

Hey, Britain!

Pip up, stiff upper lip. What say and what ho, good morrow to you, Chris. What have you for us today?

Just a question, Britain. A small one even. Slightly insignificant.

Well, do spit it out, old boy. Her Royal Empire has always been gifted with intelligence. Given that the great Oxford University resides in our merry lands, why, if there’s a question that we can’t answer, then it can’t be answered by any.

Cool. So, I just read that a British mother, who’s currently being jailed for kidnapping her very own daughter simply so that she could claim the reward money, was recently given a Playstation 3 as a reward for good behavior. Of course, I understand that those aren’t exactly cheap over in Old Blighty due to the exchange rate and all. What’s up with that? I mean, if you’re in prison, you’re there to be punished, right? Shouldn’t your reward for good behavior be not being shivved at lunch?

I … ummm … errr … I say, why, I say, would you look at the time?! I must get back to my house! It’s time for crumpets and tea! Sally-forth, now!
