will never vote for a Tory but fight vehemently for them when one is falsely accused.
In some ways this debacle over Nigel Evans may have positive results but it will probably take a few more dreadful cases like this before change comes.
However reading comments and the many conspiracy blogs out there about how Lord McAlpine was guilty and so on, it becomes quite depressing. There are hideous people about and all it needs is the claim and accusation and they would line up for the Witch burning.
have we changed much from the Middle Ages ?..probably not. Just better toys.
In The Know (as always)
Yes, JK, the only word is brilliant (or incisive?)
Particularly like this bit -
There is misconception that a miscarriage of justice only occurs when an innocent person is jailed, then subsequently found to have been not guilty of the crime. But the truth is a miscarriage occurs every time an innocent man like Nigel Evans finds himself in the dock, publicly accused of the most heinous crimes.
Perhaps someone can read it to (or explain it to) Barry George ?
