That's not right at all. Loads of stuff is inadmissible as evidence but not illegal. For example, in many countries phone intercept is inadmissible. For example, in The Wire, they might hear a drug deal being arranged on the phones, th

There is nothing inherently wrong with parallel construction, it just means concealing a source. It seems like you have probably leant the term in the context of illegally obtained information, but that is orthogonal to concealing a source.

The CM article doesn't answer your questions at all and instead for some reason digs around in the public accounts of this company. Why? The FT article goes into much more detail about the actual procurement process and the surrounding

The section I labelled as nonsense research was the stuff about the £2m. What is the relevance of that? This section is the only thing that CM has added, and he has missed all of the other firms that are covered in the FT article. This arti

I don't think there's anything unusual about being prepared to forgive someone who is contrite and has apologised, but not being able to if they are unrepentant. It's nothing like revenge.
