You Know What The Explanation Will Be, Emma...

...it'll be 'Well, who cares if we are incompetent, the process is the punishment':
Chief Magistrate Emma Arbuthnot found Paul Bussetti, 47, not guilty after it emerged the clip that sparked outrage online may not have been his.
Another disaster for the CPS, but why should they care, when it's only taxpayer money?
Mrs Arbuthnot told Westminster magistrates: "Putting this sort of video on the internet even in a private WhatsApp group could in certain circumstances constitute a offence.
"But in this case the Crown have not discharged the burden on them, I cannot be sure the video circulated on by the crown is the one by the defendant.
"The thoroughly offensive racist remarks and images sent by the defendant and others on a regular basis cannot fill the holes in the crown's case."
Clearly, the CPS goons forgot that they can't simply say 'these are horrible people' and expect that to be all that's needed. They actually have to have a case.

Oh, and follow the rules:
She praised Bussetti's defence barrister Mark Summers QC for spotting a police interview transcript of Peter Hancock admitting to also sharing the bonfire video had not been disclosed to the defence.
More disclosure fuckups, CPS..? Weren't the recent sex case failures enough of a warning?
She said: "Had these issues been raised at half time I may well have upheld Mr Summers submission of no case.
"Had Mr Summers raised an abuse of process that too may have succeeded.
"It seems on the face of it however the very latest this morning warnings bells should have been ringing.
"It's Mr Summers keeping his wits about him who prevented potentially a miscarriage of justice."
She said she will expect an explanation over the "appalling" disclosure failings by the senior prosecutor in the case.
The explanation is staring her in the face, and if she doesn't understand this, Fahrenheit211 will tell her the plain truth; the CPS has been so corrupted by political correctness, and infiltrated by Common Purpose, that it's no longer fit for purpose.

Julia, first of all thank you for the link back. Secondly and completely unsurprising the mendacious grievance mongering censorship fans of Tell Mama are appalled by this decision by Chief Magistrate Arbuthnot and are promoting the statement of the 'Justice4Grenfell' group stating that they 'appalled'. This tells me that the correct decision has been made by the court. When you are upsetting what has become a group of grifters in the form of the Justice for Grenfell crowd and a bunch of grievance mongers with a less than close relationship with the truth, then it must be the correct thing to do. See: https://twitter.com/TellMamaUK/status/1164848165998252032

I'd just like to add that the increasingly incestuous relationship between groups run or founded by the Islamic activist Fiyaz Mughal, in this case Tell Mama, and the CPS seems to get worse. The No Hate Crime awards, set up by the aforementioned Tell Mama, has nominated the CPS for one of their 'awards'. If we had an honest justice system then the No to Hate Crime Awards, Tell Mama, Faith Matters and other Fiyaz Mughal vehicles, would be persona non grata for the CPS.

I presume this is the utter nonsense regarding the Grenfell Tower bonfire incident. Stupidity on both sides it seems. But a crime? Ridiculous. Just black (ahem) humour.

We should all do our best to spread the word about Common Purpose among friends, family and colleagues. It's so little known, yet exerts its malign influence widely.

This morning, the mendacious twats are trying to link reports of 'islamaphobia' to Johnson. The media are helping by omitting the words 'reports of'...

"Stupidity on both sides it seems. But a crime? Ridiculous. Just black (ahem) humour."

But low-hanging fruit is so temptingly accessible, if you're lazy.

"We should all do our best to spread the word about Common Purpose among friends, family and colleagues. "

I do. Every chance I get.
