I'm tired of liberals who are always talking about how they think the prison population should be either heavily reduced or abolished altogether when talking about crime in general, but at the same time - as Theodore Dalrymple mentions in this video - want to send more people to prison for crimes they are personally interested in, such as rape or domestic violence for example. They never acknowledge the contradiction.

Very intelligent man.

I love his books but this is very wordy and convoluted.
Writing has always been his strength.
“Most people”, “all people”, “no-one”, “everyone”.
What's your point?
