Rod Liddle:

'Police robbed of their discretion 
At last prison beckons for Jemma Beale, who has just been convicted of fabricating rape or other sexual assault claims against 15 men. Police — and the Crown Prosecution Service — took all of those allegations very seriously indeed. One completely innocent bloke got seven years inside.
I know this is unchivalrous, but did the coppers not ask themselves: “Just what is it about this 20-stone munter with more chins than the Shanghai telephone directory that drives so many men wild with unrestrainable lust?”
But that is the problem: the police are no longer allowed to apply discretion and common sense. Rape and sexual assault cases have become politicised to the degree that now all allegations must — must — be believed.'

“Just what is it about this 20-stone munter with more chins than the Shanghai telephone directory that drives so many men wild with unrestrainable lust?”: With lines like that, it is so why my first job on a Sunday morning is to read Rod's column.
