Mirren
Does anyone agree with Helen Mirren? Or Anne Widdecombe (do the Conservatives reject the label “the party of law and order” now then?)
What's she asking for? A cup of tea?
...well, why not? Hasn't she heard the REM song?

I don't think anyone's suggesting that people be forced to prosecute - Helen Mirren's remarks are being interpreted (fairly or otherwise!) as suggesting that in some instances they shouldn't be able to invoke the law.
Anne Widdecombe appears (in the second link) to be agreeing with the remarks as interpreted this way. Though of course caution is sensible here too, it's critical to know what exactly she though she was responding to.
