Dear All
Thinks just keep getting worse for Scotland’s
inept and unfit for purpose Justice Minister Kenny MacAskill.
Can’t outrun Megrahi legacy, can’t run the
Justice brief to a satisfactory standard, and doesn’t give a hoot about Human
Rights and a fair trial.
In the most damning situation yet, Scotland’s
most senior judge has urged politicians to pull plans to abolish corroboration
out of the current justice bill.
Lord Gill, the Lord President along with
the rest of the Scottish population believes in a fair trail, it is a
cornerstone of society.
He rightly warns there would be unforeseen
consequences of the Scottish Government’s plans to end the requirement for two
independent pieces of evidence to bring a case to court.
No criminal case should solely rest on who
tells a better story, however that is what the Scottish National Party’s
Justice Minister is planning.
What about safeguards?
MacAskill has watered down safeguards which
fall far below standards in other countries.
In short, Kenny MacAskill is a useless git.
At the Scottish Parliament justice committee,
Margaret Mitchell MSP asked Lord Gill:
“Is there an argument for taking this whole
issue out of the bill and a commission looking at it in depth?”
Lord Gill replied:
“That’s what I would suggest myself. That
would be a very good way out of our difficulty here, then a balanced judgement
could be reached.”
He added:
“The risk is if the prosecution does not
need corroboration it will not go looking for it - we’ve got the complainer,
the complainer’s word may be enough. Going looking for corroboration is costly
in terms of police time and resources, when you are dealing with scarce
resources it would be unfortunate if economies were made in that direction. Just
imagine a prosecution brought without corroboration, if a defence can show that
corroboration might have been available that’s a very powerful defence.”
We now have a Conservative standing up for
Scotland against a party which claim to stand for fairness, equality and social
justice.
Gosh that sentence is an eye opener, best
to state that again.

Lord Gill also added:
“There’s a very fear there will be even
fewer convictions, for reasons I’ve already given.”
The Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland QC, the
head of the prosecution service who is now politicised by his frequent Cabinet
Meetings has spoke in favour of the proposed abolition.
Mulholland should be removed from the prosecution
service by the next Labour administration so as to clean house.
Trust is a major issue for the Scottish
National Party, the most right wing party to get elected to public office on
the back of claiming to be left wing.
These people have conned so many people,
they need to go.
In the name of God go now for all the good
you have done!
