This thread is worth reading - click on tweet for explanation of legality.

that tweet content sums it up, alot of wishful thinking that there was something here. amusing responses in the CPS twitter, how democracy has come to an end, judiciary are corrupt etc, without apparently understanding the law or reading past the headline.

It's a stich up by the evil Tories.
They are as guilty as a puppy sitting next to a pile of poo.
Is the head of The CPS a mason?
They should have all gone to The Tower until June 9th.

CPS dropping a case is pretty common. If they feel there is a chance of not winning. That is quite different as to whether an actual crime has occurred. and evidence gathered. I have sadly experienced seeing the clearly guilty not prosecuted because CPS does not feel the evidence to be bomb proof. That is their job but it can be very frustrating.

How would they know?

they'll look at the evidence to see if you are likely to have known it was inaccurate or not. see, your funny note may well be valid if the law and the agency investigating deemed it to be innocent and not worth following up.

The head of the CPS is a woman, so not a mason.

Simon Day

Simon Day, the Conservative party’s treasurer, was reported to the Metropolitan police by the Electoral Commission in March after the watchdog’s inquiries found that the party’s general election return was “neither complete nor correct”.

After the Commission released its report into electoral irregularities (pdf), the Met confirmed it was investigating one alleged breach of electoral law while two other remained under assessment.

Today a Met spokesperson said they would not confirm the identity of individuals who are under investigation. A spokesman for the Conservative party declined to comment on Day and referred inquiries to the Met.

This was always going nowhere, reported constantly as Electoral Fraud- deliberately to make it sound like vote rigging, which I am pretty sure most people would say if you asked them what Electoral Fraud was, when in fact it was whether or not the cost of a visit by a coach with a nice (or nasty) slogan on the side should be nationally or local accounted for. As I understand it, they aren't even saying they didn't account for the expense, just put it on the wrong line of an accounts sheet. What a waste of police time and money. Should have let the electoral commission deal with it and fine them accordingly. (which they did to the tune of £70k I believe) Expensive mistake but hardly criminal behaviour and widespread electoral fraud
