Liz Truss lasted about an hour
Yeah he was a bit weird and he fooled some people, but not sure many of us felt the Eton Oxford Bullingdon PM wasn't establishment.
Right, but he's not the government
That's not exactly trailblazing insight, everyone is aware that this should have been dealt with years ago.
As an aside, since when did this government pretend to be anti-establishment? They are the establishment.
Agreed, and this is why people need to be prosecuted to reduce the chance of it all happening again and again. Prosecution needs to be prompt, whilst robust.
I'm not sure what you mean?
Obviously not, and I wasn't suggesting otherwise. The article said that software engineer's (or whatever his title was) testimony was an important part of convicting people. Was the software engineer honest in court, or did he commit perjury (other people on the...
Anyone working on the legal cases, telling the accused that they were the only one, knew they were doing wrong. And the same goes for those working at the help centre, telling postmasters that they were the only one. A lot of people knew they were doing something wrong, even if they didn't...
The software is never wrong, it's in use everywhere and you are the only one with this problem. Maybe you've had staff sell stock for cash and its been pocketed. We don't know how you have taken the money, but you have taken it and we've got 15 lawyers here to confuse the courts enough to put...
You're right to question it, but getting an appeal judge to quash 20 cases an hour sounds like a similar problem.
They could have a proper court hearing which would presumably find that the existing convictions are unsafe due to an issue common to all cases. That's a good starting point to...
If he has no case to answer, that's great, and he should just help the inquiry. It seems odd for someone in that position, with no case to answer, to ask for immunity. The reason I've then taken the phrase literally, is because I don't see how anyone here can be so confident he has no case to...
And why exactly should he be given immunity?
I don't know whether his head should be on a block, but some heads should be.
IMO the best way to stop something like this happening again is to fully prosecute those responsible. That way, the next time ****s like these are considering perverting...
