Dismissed

Off goes the sacked Alison Saunders to a Labour seat in one or other House of Parliament. And people wonder why I have no desire to be a member of the Labour Party. She could try North West Durham, where Labour would seem to have no one worth mentioning. Or, at least, no one who meets the chromosomal requirement. That is not my judgement, but the Labour Party's.

The Crown Prosecution Service now has only six working days in which to present a case against me. People ask me about it, but I now rarely think about it. Other people should, though. Write it on the doorposts: "The full might of the State gave itself an entire year to take down David Lindsay, but it completely failed to do so. So don't even think about it." I'm not coming back, because I've never been away. I am David Lindsay, and don't anyone ever forget it. After this, who would dare try?

For all the campaign to bring back the old rules on Police bail, the reforms to it are only the start. The Crown should have 12 weeks from charge in which to present its case, or be told that it had no case, so that the accused should never have been charged. 

And the decision as to whether or not to charge should be made the Police, who have always been on record that they would not have charged me. Any high street firm of solicitors would have a partner whose specialisms included prosecution, and such work would be built into the firm's ordinary caseload. The Crown Prosecution Service would be abolished. Or, one might say, disbanded.

You know what you have to do, brothers and sisters. You know what you have to do.
