I know we 'bat on the same side' so to speak!
I think all I really meant to say was, I genuinely cannot see where the campaign could go, if an independent judge were to declare that the allegation of negligence - in the terms of 'absolutely no doubt whatsoever' - could be justified!
I simply cannot conceive that any properly independent arbiter, would be prepared to flush their entire reputation down the toilet by such a perverse finding!
You know as well as anyone, that the standard of proof is (in this case!) impossible to satisfy! 'Gentlemen' of Her Majesty's Air Force designed it that way, for EXACTLY this scenario!!
We have officers being accused of the most serious misconduct, who are, tragically, unable to defend themselves!
I know, possibly I am being naive. That is what this government, and politicians in general rely upon.
I just hope that high court judges would have a little more respect for their reputations, and Justice with a capital 'J'!!
