Latest moan from me and you!!!

I must admit that I have no liking for Ken Clarke but that is a personal inclination rather than logical one.
As regards the case you mention you have to be aware of the legal consequences of the Laws of Slander and/or Defamation of Character you face when naming persons and inferring their implication in a criminal act, particularly on a Network Forum . Neither you or I have access to factual evidence of the allegation and the only source of "information" is via the Media therefore you and I cannot pass judgement without being biased by the source and/or our own personal feelings regarding a person.
I think recent past events have proved that the Police are by no means swayed by the Political or Financial position of a person when considering a charge against them, in fact one might surmise that, at the moment, there is a great dislike between the two parties and a willingness to clash.
I also know that the Police will only arrest a person on reasonable grounds and after serious consideration. These decisions are not taken by the Bobby on the Street but by people at a certain level where they are aware of the consequences of such an act, i.e. the scrutiny of the Media, the CPS, and other independent organisations that are eager to take up a cause for whatever reasons, and the resulting damages to be paid should irregularities be proved.
Again I would point out that your wording seems to indicate an intense dislike of a person, whether justified or not, which is actually blurring your vision of the English Law, which is not perfect, but the days of it being used by a powerful person against a lesser one are long gone due to the more open and responsive society we live in.
I understand that Conspiracy theories abound in all subjects but to me they are only a fodder used to feed people's frustrations, hates, sense of personal injustice etc but, I for one, do not need that kind of stimulation.

 

I knew I'd gone wrong somewhere

 

.........you should worry

 

My latest moans:

- Just because you have flicked the indicator stalk and put the wee orange flashing light on, DOESN'T mean that you can immediately change lanes with no consideration for anyone currently in your desired lane! It is an indicator of intent, NOT a god given right to make the manoeuvre.

- That bleedin' advert "Anythin' for yow coopcake' A 'yow' is something that is occasionally found 'cowpit' in the countryside, requiring to be put back on all four feet so she can rejoin her lambs.....

 

Although I agree with all that you've said I don't think that the sense of dignity, pride and community are mutually exclusive with individualism.

 

Yes, doing that is reprehensible. I indicate after I've changed lanes!

 

I either put the TV to mute or change channels when it come on..........it's not even funny!!

 

In some respects, its done its job because we are making mention of it (not that I can remember what its advertising) - in reality, I would go out of my way not to buy anything from the company advertised just because of their annoying advert!
