'The British justice system does not like to admit that miscarriages of justice occur, as that suggests fallibility, lack of public confidence, and hence compensation' On a recent meeting of the APMI @EmpowerInnocent @DanielBarrs2 empowerinnocent.wixsite.com/website/post/a…

New blog post on the FACT website - how the CPS are causing more miscarriages of justice, failing both men and women, by betraying their own Code for Prosecutors. A review of a published article by Michael Naughton factuk.org/cps-failure-of…. @EmpowerInnocent

'"John" was convicted of rape and sentenced to 8.5 years in prison. His case highlights a “legal loophole” where a voluntarily intoxicated man is held fully responsible for his actions, while a voluntarily intoxicated woman is deemed legally incapable of giving consent' FACT (Falsely Accused in the Context of Trust, president @KHarveyProctor) response to new paper by Dr Michael Naughton of @EmpowerInnocent factuk.org/cps-failure-of…

Something that really bothers me is false accusations against men. It destroys lives and harms the credibility of true victims. A police officer who reported late for duty falsely claimed it was because she had been sexually assaulted by a fellow officer. The next day, innocent PC Alex Watson—who Evans had never even met—was arrested in front of his wife and children as they arrived home from a wedding. He spent 23 hours in custody before detectives established that Evans had made up the allegation. Evans was just sent to jail for one year. I believe false allegations deserve harsher sentences so people would be less likely to make them.

So defendants are yet again not thought of as innocent until proven guilty!

'Woman who picked out Andy Malkinson in a video identity parade after being raped has told a jury she later had doubts he was the man who had attacked her after seeing him in court, but police officers told her she had "got the right man" and it was just "trial nerves"' - Dominic Casciani @BBCDomC So why wasn't she deafening about the miscarriage of justice over the subsequent 17 years Malkinson spent in prison as an innocent man? @EmpowerInnocent would have readily amplified her voice Michael J. Todd held the position of Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police throughout Malkinson’s arrest in August 2003 and his subsequent trial and conviction in early 2004.

How is this bastard still not dead! #Soham murderer Ian Huntley interview with journalist prompted police tip-off - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/videos/cr…

"To argue with a [person or institution] who has renounced the use and authority of reason... is like administering medicine to the dead” (Thomas Paine).

Rupert Lowe has alleged that London officials, particularly under Mayor Sadiq Khan, have misappropriated billions of pounds from taxpayers. This stems from a recent public confrontation he described as "The Great London Robbery." In it, Lowe accused City Hall of funneling billions into nonexistent "consultancy fees" and "green schemes," linking the missing funds to insiders and calling for fraud investigations and jail time. He reportedly presented leaked financial documents and handed them to police. While mainstream outlets haven't covered it extensively (it's mostly circulated on social media like Facebook, Threads, and X and they are unlikely to do so ), the claim aligns with Lowe's ongoing scrutiny of public spending as a member of the Public Accounts Committee. He has repeatedly highlighted waste in London governance, such as poor financial reporting and unaccounted funds, framing it as taxpayer robbery. Rupert Lowe has been vocal about Khan on X (e.g., calling him a "vile little man" and "awful mayor" for issues like crime and decline), but his direct posts on the billions focus more broadly on national waste rather than this specific event. In short, this fits his pattern of brilliant aggressive accountability demands on government finances.

I’ve mentioned this before but in my 5 month “recruitment journey” in to the prison service nobody ever asked me “why do you want to become a prison officer”

@faso_support Why keep making new accounts? This happened recently i think.

The casualness with which Peter Mandelson as business secretary forwarded confidential and price sensitive government information to the late paedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein is jaw dropping. In two of the instances we know about, these were analyses written for the then prime minister, Gordon Brown, by two of his most trusted advisers, Nick Butler - who worked in 10 Downing Street - and Shriti Vadera, who held multiple ministerial roles. Both were assessing for the PM in 2009 what action the government and Bank of England needed to make to curb the continuing economic damage from the global financial crisis. Their assessments and recommendations would have been highly valuable to any bank or credit institution. Butler, for example, in 2009 was recommending government “asset sales of even £20bn” to “relieve the debt burden, reduce borrowing costs and provide some funds for new investment”. Against a backdrop where the PM and chancellor Alistair Darling were under pressure to pre-empt the austerity that would later be adopted by Osborne and Cameron, this was significant. Butler also said such a commitment to privatisations would prevent Labour going into the coming election threatening tax rises. He then revealed to the PM that: “This is important because there are still some companies - mostly in the financial area but also highly mobile companies such as [the pharmaceutical giant] GSK which are investigating the possibility and costs of moving out of the UK. Tax for them is the critical issue.” Butler today told me: “I am wondering what else was sent on [by Mandelson] from me or from anyone else in or around No 10. Peter was copied in on anything of relevance to business…There was an internal culture of trust and confidentiality even when people disagreed. Peter broke that. “[His forwarding of emails] is a complete betrayal of trust. I agree with Gordon Brown that there must be a full enquiry into all messages sent to Epstein in this period. This can’t be the only one. Peter should do the honourable thing and resign from the Lords”. As for the email written by Vadera to “John Pond” in August 2009 (which I understand was her pseudonym for Brown) -  also forwarded to Epstein by Mandelson - it is an extraordinary insight into important disputes between the Treasury, the Bank of England and business department, about whether banks were providing adequate credit to medium size and big businesses. Written in capital letters to help the PM, whose eyesight was poor, it says of the then governor of the Bank of England Mervyn King: “MERVYN KING IS OFF THE PAGE. HE IS WINDING PEOPLE UP ABOUT BANKS NOT LENDING WITH NO EVIDENCE AND HAS BEEN DESTABILISING THE SYSTEM BY TALKING ABOUT BANKS NEEDING MORE CAPITAL.” It also says of the Chancellor Alistair Darling, “AD INSTRUCTED PAUL [MYNERS] TO THREATEN BANKS WITH OFT INVESTIGATION. THIS IS COUNTERPRODUCTIVE, NOT JUST BECAUSE IT DESTABILISES THE LLOYDS MERGER WHICH THE OFT ARE DYING TO UNPICK. BUT BECAUSE WE ARE ACTUALLY ASKING BANKS TO INCREASE THEIR MARKET SHARE BY LENDING MORE TO MAKE UP FOR SMALL AND FOREIGN BANKS. AND THEN WE THREATEN THEM WITH OFT [INVESTIFATION] WHICH WILL INVESTIGATE THEIR MARKET SHARE. IT WAS BEYOND SILLY.” It is astonishing that such sharp divisions at the heart of government were shared with Epstein, whose business was to a large extent built on trading such confidential information with Wall Street institutions as well as trafficking and abusing children. Mandelson did not respond to requests to comment.

@franticworry @BBCNewsnight In her mind, people have to be a certain type of wrongfully convicted

@exploringfar @BBCNewsnight And yet she was appointed to the CCRC and it’s been said by CCRC caseworker(s) how ‘great’ and ‘even handed’ she is. I don’t get it. Someone (possibly several someone’s) is delusional.

“A lot of people who’ve been groomed do get convictions… we need people to come forward.” Dame Vera Baird, interim chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission, calls on grooming survivors to seek support to quash wrongful convictions on their permanent record. #Newsnight

@Lewislegal2024 In thoughts and prayers

Prayers for my father Michael Naughton 88 years old, a proud and tough, ex Coldstream Guardsman please. Had a nasty fall at the weekend, has broken his right hip, left shoulder, bilateral hematoma, broken cheekbone and now has pneumonia so too sick to operate. He is fighting as my brothers and I knew he would. @VeteransFdn @Pontifex
