I find myself in sympathy with his QC Ben Myers. Rarely do I defend police or ex police but it seems to take years to bring justice and often, as in this, I suspect the desire to blame someone is going to lead to injustice. There should have been trials within months; those covering up should have been brought to justice. Now? Too late; wrong person (I say this only informed by media coverage). Clean up the current mess (partly here because of the media love of a good story).

British justice is notoriously slow, and often totally inefficient - in complex major cases, such as this.

Where numerous agencies and organisations are involved. Frequently with inbuilt animosity/rivalry, between them.


Like the Birmingham 6, and the Guildford 4 - verdicts both wrong.

But not only the courts, Brexit is difficult too! The nearest thing to it wasn't though.

Henry VIII discarded Rome rather quickly - and became the Church of England boss, acquiring the land and other assets of Catholicism.

Getting out a system - political, religious, inflicted, imposed or democratically agreed is difficult.

People and circumstances change, economies tòo. And priorities become diverse.

But obviously - the satellite driven internet has changed our lives dramatically.
