Richard Akland, an ex-lawyer, is a columnist in Australia who reports on legal matters. He should know the law.
Now he perpetuates the myth, accepted by so many, that the claims about Jimmy Savile are being "
investigating by 17 police forces"..yet they are not. It's the claims that
surround Savile that are being looked at.
They get the most simple and obvious things wrong. Why ?
Shield laws leave whistleblowers, reporters on hook
