If you still can’t see what is going on then perhaps you need to give your head a wobble ?
Ministers criminal records ro be kept secret from the public, these are the people running the country and spending your taxes ! https://t.co/x0QVWXRjYu
@DollyScoobs@Fcafcucups Faults are raised by the Appeal process. Unfortunately those who sit at then do not always possess an open mind. In fact some are blatantly partisan. Not every Court of Appeal judgment is publicly available.
MEDIA STATEMENT.
Immediate Release ⬇️
Independent Review of the IOPC
"Today I have written to the Director General of the Independent Office for Police Conduct and to the Home Secretary to formally record my complete lack of confidence in the IOPC. Almost three years after the Nottingham attacks, key investigations remain unresolved.
Throughout that period, the Webber, Kumar and Coates families have repeatedly sought answers whilst enduring unacceptable delays... Families who have suffered devastating loss should not have to spend years fighting the very organisation that exists to provide them with answers.
I have therefore called upon the Home Secretary to commission an independent review of the leadership, governance, culture, effectiveness and accountability of the IOPC."

'He had no time to consider the terms of a consent order. He had a week or more to look at it.... The order was drafted on the day, at court'.
How could any document be considered ' a week or more' before it existed ?
Barristers interpret evidence provided under instruction. Barristers make submissions in court of an interpretation of evidence, as instructed, and law. Barristers interpretation of Statute is not always correct.
'Your Honour really does the court really need to trouble itself to the truth... because of course my submission is it really makes no difference at all'.
This rubbish was spouted by counsel.
Evidence enables fact to be established on balance of probability of truth.
@geoffreyMyers1@AllisonPearson The police engage sublayers of excuses and incompetence that people are required to navigate before the CPS are involved.
@AllisonPearson When it comes to real crime, supported by irrefutable evidence, the police scuttle away empty handed and revert to excuses rather than get involved.
@LucyLetbyTrials@EruthmaEruthmas@ClarkeMicah That won't do. If the court has been misled it is incumbent upon counsel to correct the error. In this instance both counsel knew !
True story: after Cheshire police figured out that the swipe data presented at Lucy Letby's first trial had been back to front, they hauled Dr Jayaram in for an interview.
And they told him: "We can't change the data… But we can change the interpretation of it."
The obvious answer to losing our foreign shearers is to simply train our own. Britain already does. Training was never the problem, and here is what actually is.
The country has fourteen million breeding ewes and about three months to shear them, because the fleece has to come off in a short warm window or the animal suffers. A mountain of work crammed into one season, then nothing for nine months.
So think like someone weighing up the trade. You spend years mastering one of the hardest physical skills in farming, shearing hundreds a day with calm hands and no harm to the animal, and the reward is twelve brutal weeks in summer and three quarters of a year with no work and no money. Nobody builds a life on that. So they don't, and who could blame them.
The shearers who fly in have solved the one problem Britain cannot. A top shearer works four countries a year, New Zealand, America, Britain, Australia, three months in each, chasing the season round the planet until twelve weeks becomes fifty. That is what makes it a career instead of a summer job, and no single country can recreate it, because no single country has more than one season.
There used to be British gangs on this circuit. Contractors who travelled, who trained the next lot, who knew every shed in the dale. That world thinned as the wool stopped paying and the young went to jobs that ran all year, and the gap was filled by the shearers who fly in, who now teach the British newcomers coming up, because the knowledge had nowhere else to live. Cut them off and you do not force Britain to train its own. You remove the last people still doing the teaching.
And this is what makes it so hard to stomach. Seventy-five people, in for twelve weeks, gone the day the job is done, costing the taxpayer nothing and leaving the flock shorn. If any arrival on earth is the useful kind, it is this one. A government serious about who comes and goes would fling the door open to exactly these people and spend its energy on the arrivals it genuinely cannot account for.
It has done the precise reverse. A hard No for the seventy-five it could see, needed and time-limit, while the numbers it cannot explain carry on untouched.
They looked at a skills chain held together by seasonal workers and decided the workers were the problem. They were the only reason it still existed.
