What's wrong with this picture?

The first thing wrong with this picture is that England, the country which gave the world rights of accused persons, is now allowing police to hold people without charge for lengthy periods. This disgrace, of course, is thanks to Tony Blair's phoney baloney war on terror.

The second thing wrong with this picture is that it's such an execrable example of courtroom art, a genre that has a proud and brilliant tradition, not the least in the UK. Has Britain come to this?
