Hilarious you are presenting someone formerly senior in the CPS as providing any credibility. He or she presumably oversaw its castration and complete voiding of any morale. I doubt there’s a government department that’s been more damaged by austerity and poor management than the CPS, compounded by politicisation in recent years. Shame, because there’s some incredible people who work there. So dedicated and professional.
Dismiss the rule of law and fair justice at your peril. It’s one of the key components that prevents us from behaving like animals, which is basically what we are. All fucking day long.
If we feel our society is broadly “fair” we love it; if we feel it is “unfair” we feel a nagging sense of hate. In my eyes, a society is only worthwhile and venerable if it shows mercy and compassion. All some people seem to want to do these days is condemn and belittle.
Not my thing, man.
This should not be a prosecution for assault if the laws of common sense are meaningfully applied. No way.
The laws of assault should always favour those who reasonably feel attacked. The alternative is malign and dangerous.
