So likely other witnesses were paid too.<br /><br />If Sheridan was guilty of any of it he should have dismissed the News of the World allegations instead of going to court, but i also suspect the 'United Left' faction jumped at a stick to beat Sheridan with.calgacushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253675072578015749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972114991869354050.post-77618691641168810572010-11-13T01:02:38.176+00:002010-11-13T01:02:38.176+00:00How many cocks did 'Rosie' chew?How many cocks did 'Rosie' chew?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972114991869354050.post-66358743176150243132010-10-17T18:07:04.085+01:002010-10-17T18:07:04.085+01:00I tend to agree with you Mr Laird viz the legal re...I tend to agree with you Mr Laird viz the legal representation.<br /><br />I suspect a jury in the first trial thought they were bloodying Rupert's nose. Perjury being such a common thing in court, and so rarely prosecuted, they may well have expected their deliberations to be the end of the matter.<br /><br />I think it is heavy handed of the state to have brought this prosecution. The jury is always right even when its wrong. And if an odd jury cannot acquit someone who has clearly broken the law now and then ( say a vigilante householder), then why do we bother with the farce of juries in the first place? <br /><br />I too have encountered Mr Sheridan and alas do not share your view of his likeability, but he did at least represent those who voted for him(for which I respect him greatly ). Oh how much better would our democracy be if that were as common as unusual sexual peccadilloes among our elected representatives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972114991869354050.post-66105992985953520922010-10-16T15:47:58.736+01:002010-10-16T15:47:58.736+01:00Dear Mxyzptlk
