Are we not trying to defend the indefensible.
What we have here is an eccentric old fool (cue his flying antics over some years, not simply around Africa) who thinks he's bigger than the justice system.
It's been kind to him by issuing a restraining order - but he knows better than to abide by that. People aren't 'sectioned' lightly by the authorities. I would think they've tried most other avenues.
Clearly he's a friend of many on here but surely it's time to get real, He's 73 - he doesn't seem to have learned much in all that time. For his own good I think he's in the best place - HMP.
