Can anyone give me a logical reason why the British government should have put up the bail money? I for one would have been VERY upset to see my taxes go to that particular cause! (I suspect the money will come from the newspapers anyway).
I applaud Stelios' gesture, but bail money coming out of public funds? No way. Many people only have limited sympathy for the spotters - I am sorry if they have been kept in poor conditions in prison, for example, but you can't go to other countries and break their law and expect to be let off because you're a foreigner. As many people pointed out on the previous thread - the spotters need to take responsibility for their actions.
