But can senior CPS and police really be so stupid as not to see that the tide is turning? Individual accountability has started. And the public is beginning to understand that people make false allegations. The more cops stand on steps bleating "you will be believed" the more the punters say "are you encouraging us to commit a crime?". Which, I suspect, may be a crime in itself.
The subtext to that police statement is "false allegations can often be proven true and you'll make loadsa cash in compensation and even more in media fees if the accused is a celebrity". |

The more the CPS set up these high profile cases, the more money they can demand from government.
Doesn't matter if someone is guilty or innocent, it's money. |

It must be soon that a defendant is going to demand comparison in expenses between celebrity investigations and ordinary ones - police and CPS costs will be scrutinised in court and revealed. For example - Bert Bloggs, accused of similar crimes to Nigel Evans MP. If the costs are the same, fair enough. If they are revealed as hugely different (especially in areas like overtime) questions will be raised that won't only acquit but will examine the veracity of statements made in public and to Parliament. Jobs will be lost. Prosecutions will start.
More money will be wasted. How on earth do we get ourselves into these situations? |

Saunders looks like a character from The League Of Gentlemen. |

"What the CPS needs to avoid, however, is going on a mission and losing perspective.
"This particularly applies to historical cases which have garnered a lot of publicity. You have to keep a cool head."
