These figures are undoubtedly shocking. The main driver however, according to the Home Office stats, appears to be the failure by the prosecuting authorities to take *any* decision, rather than deciding *not* to charge.

There are two reasons that might explain this: [THREAD]
Firstly, due to the well-known failings surrounding disclosure (see the CPS Inspectorate report here justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/cjji/inspectio…), which have derailed several high profile cases, it is now common for the CPS to front-load the disclosure process before charging a suspect.
This means that the material that is often obtained and reviewed during the disclosure process (by which the prosecution is required to disclose to the defence any material reasonably capable of assisting the defence or undermining the prosecution) is now obtained pre-charge.

This “research” paper, which some of the tabloids are salivating over today, is one of the most stupid and misleading documents produced for some years.

Its premise is that what criminal justice needs is - surprise surprise - even more prison.

The ignorance is palpable.
The author is outraged that repeat “super-prolific” offenders sometimes avoid prison. WHY ARE JUDGES LETTING THEM OFF?

Well one unacknowledged reality, about which he seems completely unaware, is that a large number of offences in the magistrates’ courts are non-imprisonable.
The statistics relied upon throughout this report do not disaggregate imprisonable and non-imprisonable offences. Which makes the entire paper worthless.

Good. All he needed was a gentle nudge in the right direction.
Although he doesn’t understand the meaning of the word “inference”, as versus “implication” or, more accurately in this case, “assertion”.
If we’re being really picky, Piers’ bold claim that Trump isn’t a racist, just someone who keeps saying racist things, is what we might call “a bold submission”, but still. There is criticism here, and not before time.

Eagles Meadow, Wrexham. Question: of all the people in this poster, who’d be the last to admit Brexit was a mistake? If the last drop of drinking water ran dry, cancer drugs couldn’t be imported and the £ fell to parity with the Venezuelan Bolívar, who’d be the last to hold out?

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

I’m watching all of the @Marvel movies with @ThereseTheBeast, we are going in release order over the next 8 weeks leading up to #AvengersInfinityWar

Yesterday was Iron Man, we just started The Incredible Hulk now.

Updating this thread with thoughts and lists as we go #marvel
💭 Most shocking moment so far in the @Hulk 2008 is @LivTyler dating the dad from Modern Family.

Also as much as I like Edward Norton I’m just picturing @MarkRuffalo in my head and this movie is even better.
Putting @Hulk on pause to talk Iron Man.

1. I forgot how we used to talk about Marvel movies being “grounded” or “realistic” especially when it comes to color pallete and portrayal of characters or events.

The colors in Black Panther and Thor 3 have come a long way since 2008.
