What a fucking joke?

Sad news for those involved.

Same old scum protecting their own. Guilty as can be but found a technical loophole which the negates the specific charge. Or so advises the judge...

British justice is a sham!

This is for all those who believe the UK is not corrupt. The courts are not corrupt, Judges are not corrupt, police are not corrupt, all officiating bodies not corrupt.

Tampered with the evidence but had their fingers crossed.

If I could forget the actual tragedy, but what happened since has been a fucking disgrace.

My heart goes out to the families who have been betrayed by their own Government.

[Daffydd]

A corrupt system is never going to rule itself corrupt.

[redebreck]

Disgusting conclusion but what else can we expect from such a corrupt establishment.
God bless the families.

Just reading a quick review of the case and it seems the CPS should never have taken this prosecution forward when they were aware of the technicality beforehand.
A waste of money and time, probably elevating the hopes of peoples involved.

Very sad that the bereaved couldn't get a conviction of any sort against those involved. At least they have had their loved ones deaths acknowledged as unlawful.

32 years and this is what the families get. Disgraceful

Boris and Dowd gave similar support - maybe because Boris also wants to distance himself from his own past indiscretions for which he has never apologised.
