That case... and the public interest

[Gubbins]

I love this, it's like digital Tourette syndrome.

I think I had Irritable phone syndrome..

Had to Google that!

This forum is an education.

Great word, to save others wondering:-

Equanimity (Latin: æquanimitas having an even mind; aequus even animus mind/soul) is a state of psychological stability and composure which is undisturbed by experience of or exposure to emotions, pain, or other phenomena that may cause others to lose the balance of their mind.

Thanks. At least it will save possible embarassment to those who thought it was something to do with horse riding.

Exactly, I've been putting up with all you lot for almost ten years and well over 31,000 posted responses, but am completely unstressed by that. I even work on another forum simultaneously giving answers to the general public.

You post as you want about anything you like, I'll just treat it all with equanimity.

I'm just typing a letter and equanimity fits into it beautifully. Thank you.

Showing that wandering off topic does have a value.

Nothing whatsoever to do with any toes, neither Tom's nor mine.

Equanimity is a very useful product. Available from Chemists and hardware outlets, it is now available in the large economy one litre can. It is an aerosol can, with a long detachable spout like WD40. It is thus useful for treating situations, but to treat people with it, you must be a qualified physician.Whilst on the subject of such products, Cillit Bang has been withdrawn from the market as it proved to be too strong. A newer less aggressive version is to replace it. It will be sold as Cillit Pop. So the situation is the same as the phasing out of the old WD41.

yes as if the police has not got enough evidence the cps will not prosecute thus why they interview you and keep you in the sells.

the police are trained to get you to confess as why they record it to give to the cps.

if you sit there and say no comment all they have is the evidence they have collected.

so if you are on a ebike more than 250w they will have to prove it to give to the cps so not in the public's interest as that will cost a fortune.

its more money than law these days

'' You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something which you may rely on in court and anything you do say will be recorded''


If you choose to say nowt or '' no comment'' to all points / questions posed then you MAY be subject to a special warning - EG - asked to account for your presence at the scene of a crime / accident may result in a court drawing on an inference that you chose not to say anything / no comment.

The police are not trained to get confessions - leave that to DCI Gene Hunt.

They are trained to obtain sufficient evidence to support a prosecution - that's the basics although PACE goes on and on and on and on etc

They are trained to obtain a full account - which will either provide sufficient to charge with an offence or report for summons or a case being dropped.

CPS have guidelines on whether or not they go forward with a prosecution;-

Is it in the public interest to pursue a case ?

Is there a likely hood of a successful prosecution ? - After all its the public purse that pays for the court case in the end - and it can get very very expensive

Hope that clarifies a few points

Would that be Schrodinger's Tomato?

This should clarify the mystery of Schrodinger's Tomato.

Not so. We gave you in New Zealand some of our Bombus terrestris bumblebees since your native insects were somewhat incompetent, the tomato plant in particular unable to live there. They loved it there and thrived, enabling New Zealand to eventually have a healthy and lucrative business breeding and selling them in their tens of thousands around the world annually for large greenhouse plant pollination.

Bet you didn't know that!

We have a great relationship with the people behind most brands of bicycle and eBike in the UK, but I don't know anyone at 50Cycles so I didn't think they'd reply.

The don't tend to reply to pretty much anything these days..
