So what did the troll actually say? | Victoria Coren | Comment is free | The Observer: Do you know if it's applicable in this case? If not, then please try not to be glad he's in prison. He's a splot of grime in a far bigger picture. The government – or its Cameronian-Tory part, at least – is trying to increase the number of court cases held in secret, as though the operation of the law were no business of ours.

When people cheer Liam Stacey's jailing without knowing exactly what he did, or even what he's officially guilty of, I fear that we are halfway there already.
