To be honest there is a sizable amount of the population with a criminal record.
The rest of us probably should have one for something.
I know I can't put my hand on my heart and say I shouldn't have a criminal record.
But should I really be prevented from working for having say changed an electrical socket in a kitchen?
Because in theory getting done for that and getting fined would bar me from getting an airside pass in the UK. But shagging a sheep wouldn't.
