Indeed.

I'm sure the Manchester coppers who got him put in jail when they almost certainly knew he was innocent will be held to account...

That's an incredible statement to make imo, I'm not saying that will not be the case but after what happens time after time I'm amazed that somebody can be so sure, Birmingham six, Cardiff three, Daniel Morgan, Hillsborough etc etc.

Morning Trampie.

I didn't feel a smilie was needed to indicate sarcasm in this case.

Will also get a reduction from his compentation to pay for the cell rent and food whilst imprisoned too. Good old British justice.

They'll deduct about £125k won't they, and any compo won't be decided on and paid to him for several years.

Any released prisoner who was guilty doesn't pay anything so I'm not quite sure of the logic here.

Heard him on the radio earlier and he’s stupidly calm about it all. I’m not sure I would be.
