    If I accidentally killed someone and was remorseful about it, I could still be convicted of manslaughter. If I kill thousands and “joke” about it in a callous manner I can expect to get… what? A slap on the wrist?

      Only in fairly limited circumstances. Where your own choices lead to an accident you should have known was likely to lead to an accident.

      Being a dumb idiot with the brains of a rhubarb plant. Would be a valid defence. Even if folks were dumb enough to vote that plant for PM.

      Edit: I feel the urge to apologise to any rhubarb who may be reading this.
