Even more sheep in New Zealand.
Ours only get nervous when they get close to Sunday and get a whiff of mint sauce.

Well I am sure somewhere you will have tucked up your sleeve how he was cleared of any wrong doing, it would all depend on which article one reads. Let's face it, it has always been very difficult to prosecute a fine upstanding member of the establishment.

I think you will find that Leon Brittain was innocent and even the Met Commissioner apologized.

Re: same Sex Marriage
I think you will find the apology was for not telling Lady Brittain earlier.
Hogan-Howe said of the apology: “I confirmed the apology we made some months ago now, which is an apology for not telling her at an earlier stage about the fact the Lord Brittan, who by that stage had unfortunately died, was not to be prosecuted as there was no chance of a successful prosecution.
That does not say to me he was innocent. Why did the files he was given into child sex abuse by senior MP's and others vanish while he was Home secretary?? .

Okay Lewis you win, of course he was a Tory, so MUST have been guilty, even if never proved and I do believe the people who accused him, were charged with wasting police time, but forget all that, Tory/Guilty, nuff said

I think you will find that Lord Janner was a Labour man, so my post has nothing to do with Party Politics.
