If the SFO had no evidence or indeed chance of bringing any prosecutions why is it in the National interest to end the investigation? The government could quite happily have let it continue until it found nothing and said oh well!
The worrying thing to me is if the Saudi's had cancelled Typhoon we would have ended up with the things!
Because it would have just continued to be a waste of tax payers money, and the governement wastes enough of it without futile investigations. After putting up petrol and airfares to save the world, when in reality he needs money for his Education, Education, Education plot (as he failed with the billions wasted on the NHS) he needs all the money he can get. As we already have 36 and climbing, and the aircraft is better than anything else around, I dont see your point about us ending up with the things.
Also to Beagle 'not proven' is not the same as guilty and as it never came to court for anyone, then as this is a legal term only a court can pass judgement, oh hold on there is no evidence of wrong doing and nobody went to court and this was not from a governmet directive this came from the SFO itself over the preceding months.
