What would you call someone who lives off the workings of a prostitute, and not only that but mistreats her and keeps her locked up inside? Sounds like a piece of trash who needs some dark alley justice. That’s Her Majesty’s Government for you: when all is said and done, nothing better than a violent pimp.

Donna Asutaits,who earned a sizable wedge contemplating the stars, has been sentenced to 16 months in jail, a fine of £174, 243, and further threats of confiscation, for not giving the taxman his due (or as he probably said “where’s my money, bitch?”)

This story seems to epitomise the true nature of the relationship between individual and state; one-sided violence and parasitic predation, cloaked in fake legitimacy.
