Re: Has the rot set in

Naturally I do not condone abuse of any kind but sometimes I feel for people investigated on historic charges. If what they did was not illegal at the time should they be prosecuted?
if so the whole nation should be in the dock for slavery.

Re the historic charges, you seem to think let sleeping dogs lie, I fully disagree with that tbh.

The Hillsborough families are just about getting the truth about how their loved ones died all those years ago. Even though no actual crime was committed on the day, the cover ups and lies were and should be treated as such.
Jimmy Saville got away light in popping off afore he was brought to justice, the others jailed all earned their sentences.
The new Westmonster (yes I spelled it right lol) investigation should be carried out to the full and all brought to justice who have wronged

I agree, if the matter " covered up/ignored historically are not investigated there are those who will see id as licence to carry on deceiving the public.
The judges as Amethyst said were using " judicial" facilities to access pornography and it is indeed possible this might result in "historical" matters coming to light and justice being seen to be done.

Was it a cost to the taxpayer? Unless it was pay as you pull then no it wasnt

I don't think that it's a question of money.

Judges enjoy a privileged position in society and are employed because of their qualities in exercising judgment, that's what they do. Watching porn on court computers demonstrates extremely poor judgment which makes them totally unsuitable for the job.

Exactly!! No place for such conduct.

Maybe the vetting of all those with the power over our lives should be reviewed we need a society where we can trust these people to be better than those they are allowed to control

Totally agree, and it's not just the judiciary that needs fuller vetting I think.

The Police, ,Medical Practitioners, Teachers, Social Workers, and lawyers all have recently had high profile disclosure of inappropriate conduct, my guess is there is more disturbing scenarios in the offing.

No much it seems can be done to stop any body with the appropriate deposit from standing for Parliament or local authority elected positions.

When I worked for a well known high street bank a few years ago I often came across bottles of booze in bottom drawers of managers desks. What does that tell you????

I think it is worth while remembering that no matter what position a person holds we are all human. It's high time those 'professionals' who think they are above the law get their backsides kicked.

Well if you watch some of the old and not so old cop shows they often get out the bottle when they get a result or are indeed stressed.
Maybe the bank managers cheered themselves when they were part of yet another plot to rip us off lol

Re: Has the rot set in

You got it in a nutshell enaid. It was only a few years ago that I am referring to and considering the high pressure sales environment I worked in the booze did not surprise me. Its just a pity they did not share it with the minions who were at the sharp end of the sales pressure

I found a few empty vodka bottles in the gents next to the court room where the first instance bank charges test case was being heard.

Re: Has the rot set in

Sparkie I think you have hit the nail on the head, you are making a moral judgement as is everyone else. If they had been using their computer equipment for blogging or coming onto LB say or maybe FB would that be OK. If they were posting on a FMOTL site would that also be ok even though there is little if no basis in law for any of their claims.
Everyone is getting uptight BECAUSE it is pornography. Who say's it is immoral? Many people do not see anything wrong with porn and also many people are very hypocritical about it , now that would be an issue.

Yes they earn substantial amounts of money but that is a different issue I believe .

As for investigations the likes of Jimmy Saville broke the law and Hillsborough was covered up, it is fair and right that the truth be known and if still alive the consequences are faced. I am not saying let sleeping dogs lie , what I am saying is that people should not have their lives ruined because what was acceptable and legal then is now not acceptable and illegal. Again most people get hung up on this because it is the S word , yes that's sex.

If the government raised the age of consent to 18 would it be right or fair to prosecute anyone whoever had sex before that age or should I be prosecuted because I used to sit in a pub and have a cigarette , you may say I am trivialising it but actually it is all about constancy and fairness
