Richard Benyon is challenging the CPS decision not to prosecute a local care home worker for a failure to care because they believe it wouldn't be in the public interest to do so! I have to say, our MP is right; who are these people to make such decisions.
There seems to be rather too many cases where public servants decide cases themselves rather than have the question tested in court; our age old right and the basis of our legal system.
How many times do we hear that Social Service Departments have taken serious decisions behind closed doors. Similarly, we now have the latest daft idea, restorative justice, where 'offenders' meet their victims to apologise and put things right (aw bless!).
It seems that today's public servants think 'going to Court' is a punishment itself. No, it isn't, it's a fundamental right. If you are charged with doing something you didn't think wax wrong, who would you rather have in judgement? For me, it certainly wouldn't be WBC or any other Government Agency.
