"I am not supporting the authorities.
I am supporting jury trial.
You would have had him convicted because, as a Tory, he must be guilty.
That was your position on Green too.
You have no concept of fairness or justice. Like Stalin, you prefer show trials where no actual evidence is required."

What a completely, utterly ridiculous post, Keith.

So you're supporting jury trial, eh? Of course, there have never been miscarriages perpetrated by jury trials, have there, Keith? Derek Bentley. Timothy Evans. Barry George. Winston Silcott. Stephen Downing. Guildford Four. Birmingham Six...any more for any more...?

And one fine day you are really going to have to face the fact that Damian Green WAS guilty. Of lying, and *quite likely* of other things that he's denied that come under the heading of naughty-though-not-illegal, such as downloading and using pornography on his work computer and propositioning a young woman from his position of power. Whatever the irregularity of the process that exposed him, we've got rid of a bad man. You should at least be happy with that aspect of it, but nooooo, just sour grapes. I wasn't happy with the way that the Ceausescus were finally "seen to," but I was bloody glad to see the back of them. And we haven't forgotten how you tirelessly applied antisemitism smears all over those Labour politicians without a scrap of evidence bar the stretching of points and the adjusting of definitions over the things they said. You backed Green for the same reason that you accuse us of for going for him - simply because he's a Tory. You attacked those Labour people for the simple reason that they were Labour people. Shame on you.
