Two very rich men, in a fireside chat, place a £1,000 sporting bet on whether one of them can effect a punishment on people desperately seeking refuge, within a mutually-agreed time.
A Dickensian tale?
No - it’s Britain in 2024.
And the men are Rishi Sunak & Piers Morgan.
In 2017 women hung wedding dresses along Beirut seafront in protest at a law allowing rapists to escape punishment if they married their victim. The law was eventually repealed after such pressure from Arab women's groups #WomensArt

I suspect there’s a whole host of people out there right now looking at the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 with a totally fresh set of eyes.
Nonsense thing to have said, nonsense.
Boy I'm loving this. @Defra spokesperson has just refused to acknowledge the law because it's 20 years old.
Excellent! Hear that. You're all now free to completely ignore any bit of legislation that is more than 20 years old. Hurrah! 😂
Totally ridiculous thing to say.
