Pesky evidence

From the Beeb as the High Court informs the government that locking people up with no evidence and no conviction is a tad problematic:
'Home Office Minister Tony McNulty said the government would try to overturn the ruling in the Court of Appeal.
"We do really seriously feel that the interest of public safety far outweighs the rights of particular individuals who are incredibly dangerous but there's not that evidential base there."'
Hmm. Let's try:
'Tony McNulty is a baby-raping murderer but there's not that evidential base there.'
Okay, I think I get it. Lock 'im up!
