Innocent Accused robbiex you're at it again...failing to read a post correctly.

My sympathies were because of the injustices in the legal system he will face,not because I make any assumptions of guilt or innocence.
It is impossible to get a fair trial in this country,because of a biased legal system,& a corrupt police force.

Oh & I do agree with you about the BNP,horrible politics to my little mind,but a democracy should be able to contain all strands of belief,not just those it likes.
JK2006 I think the point is, Robbie - all accused are innocent. Not just presumed or considered but ARE - unless and until they are found to be guilty.
Yet, because of media coverage and attitude, it becomes the fallback position in many people's minds that they are guilty when accused.

Many of us here have also experienced incredible police inefficiency or laziness - at best - and corruption at worst. Likewise the judicial system. So we tend to be sceptical even when people are convicted.

And hundreds of Sally Clarks and Barry Georges and Steven Downings and others tend to illustrate we are right to be so.
robbiex ok so I'm speaking from a position of ignorance, because I don't know about the case, equally Locked out is speaking from a position of ignorance as the court proceedings have not taken place yet.


Jack Tweed is in court from today.

news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/essex/8615732.stm

He may be guilty,or innocent,but we do know the system is stacked against him,with built in bias.

Good luck Jack,just don't expect justice in Brown's biased Britain.


From this quote, it is obvious that his sympathies lie with the alleged rapist not with the alleged victim. Whenever there is an accusation of police brutality, I don't see too many people jump up into the defence of the policeman on this sight.

Also by the way I've never voted BNP, I just believe in democracy and free speech, which seems to have diminished since BNP members were banned from joining the police.

Again you are assuming that this is a false accusation.

Why shouldn't that assumption be drawn? The cornerstone of the British justice system is the presumption of innocence. Therefore it's a perfectly logical assumption to make. If you are going to post from a position of total ignorance at least make some attempt at logic.

You haven't seen the evidence, so there's no way you could possibly know that. Again, you're posting from a position of total ignorance.

The character of the man and his criminal past (not necessary rape, but violence) would indicate that there is a possibility that it is a valid claim.

OK. So it's also a "possibility" {given "the man and his criminal past"} that he's also a nonce, a gunrunner, an armed robber and a mugger of pensioners. You make assumptions based on your impression of someone's past, and that's no basis for any justice system other than the sort favoured by your BNP heroes. Summary justice is, sad to say, often no justice at all. It is to be fervently hoped that you never get to bring that sort of thinking to jury service.

What is obvious to me {and, I'm sure, many others} is that while you're very keen on talking about the rights of Brits {ever heard of Magna Carta and the right therein enshrined to a fair trial by peer group?} and are always banging on about the "British Way Of Life" you have little interest in or knowledge of the extant model under which you live.

My own view is that Tweed is a total git. But that doesn't make him a rapist. Only being a rapist would make him a rapist, and for that more proof than your assumptions will, thankfully, be required.

You are out of your depth, and not for the first time.
Innocent Accused robbiex,nobody is assuming guilt or innocence,but mentioning the system is stacked against the accused...I know this well,from personal experience.
If we are to punish the guilty we need to be sure of guilt,and withholding evidence,and making it easy to report,without proper investigation of the accusers does nothing to help the cause of justice.

Do not,under any circumstances let sympathy for a victim cloud your judgment,& do not make assumptions of someone just because the media use it for sensationalism.
