It does. But sadly this alleged list will now just become a football for politicians to play with, whispered allegations of who might be on it to damage your opponents, no recourse for those accused.
And I really don't agree with the sentiment that a few false positives are OK in situations like this where lets face it accusation = guilt. We don't operate like that in any other areas of criminality and for good reason.
- pjc50 4y ago> accusation = guilt We've been through months of "evidence=impunity". Partygate. Braverman getting sacked over a "but her emails" incident of deliberately leaking classified material and then getting reinstated six days later. Gavin Williamson. And much of the misconduct isn't actually illegal! It's just misconduct and intra-party bullying. The problem is there's no "adults outside the room" you can call on to make a determination. It's only a political system, a set of interlocking popularity contests.
- Neil44 4y agoJust because you don't perceive justice to have been done is some other situations doesn't mean we should abandon any attempt at it in others.
- bigfudge 4y agoVery few other crimes have such a low rate of action let alone conviction.
- Neil44 4y agoAll the more reason for official complaints rather than whisper lists, yes?
