Is it the case that explorers have at last found Sherlock Holmes's Giant Rat of Sumatra, "a story for which the world is not yet ready"?

The madness of our political masters
Let's follow the logic of the Home Office's position. He's a dangerous terrorist - so bring him trial. Oops, there's no actual evidence against him. What does his terrorism consist of? Maybe thinking the wrong thoughts, as in Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia or 1984. Still, we know he's dangerous. So we control him. we don't let him do A level science. Logically all public libraries must now be closed down, because he could go into one and borrow an A level textbook and acquire dangerous knowledge. Also all bookshops should be closed down, as he could buy the textbooks he needs. In order to truly protect the public, and assure our health and safety, the books formerly in the libraries and bookshops should all be burned. Now where did I hear of that happening before?
