Woman charged over Blair packages

Summary:

An elderly woman has been charged after sending a suspicious package to Prime Minister Tony Blair and his family. These packages includes sugar and weed killer. The seventy-two-year-old Shirley Rita Freed, form Little Hampton is charged of sending foolish packages which was addressed to Tony Blair. The intention of the woman was make the Prime Minister afraid by letting him think that the package includes weird stuff that would endanger health. This woman had sent other packages including white powder to Ann Clwyd MP and another package to Patricia Hewitt MP. She is also charged for sending these packages.


My opinion.

I think it is ridiculous to do such a thing. Maybe it is a fact that not all political people would be loved by everyone, but that does not mean to make them afraid. These men are also human beings and Mrs. Freed has not the right to frighten them. But let’s continue on the fact that Mrs. Freed is a seventy-two-year-old woman. I can not imagine that an elderly woman can do such a thing. I always thought that elderly women will always be nice to other people, but as I can see that is not true… It just makes me laugh, because this woman has just spending her time to frighten people. And now she will be charged at the age of seventy-two.
