The liar impaled on his own sword of justice
Article Abstract:
Former UK cabinet minister Jonathan Aitken has been imprisoned after admitting to perjury and perverting the course of justice. As Defence Procurement Minister, he spent time at the Ritz in Paris, France, at the expense of Said Ayas, an old business associate. He lied about this, and later persuaded his daughter to sign a false statement. He also lied to the then Cabinet Secretary and Prime Minister, and was subsequently forced to resign from the Privy Council.

Dark voices that told him to stab
Article Abstract:
Paranoid schizophrenic Anthony Joseph viciously attacked Jenny Morrison, his social worker, as she sought to persuade him to return voluntarily from his hostel to Springfield Psychiatric Hospital in London, England. He stabbed her with two kitchen knives, believing that she was a fascist terrorist determined to torture him. He then waited quietly in his room until arrested by the police. Morrison, who had spent 10 years helping the mentally ill, strongly supported care for the mentally ill in the community.
