Predictable
If you go back through the posts on this subject you will see a number of posters who "warned" that this issue should be left alone. At that time, he had not beed discharged from the Army, despite the result of the CM. In their rush to stand up for Sgt Nightingale, the British press (some of it at least) and the people that jumped on the outrage bus completely ignored the Law of Unintended Consequences. Shortly he will be Mr Nightingale and cut off from his old colleagues in Hereford. He is still to face a retrial and, from where I am looking - it would seem that his offence is an "absolute offence" - i.e. there is no defence - only mitigation. It gives me no pleasure whatsoever to see it end this way - or indeed to say "I told you so" - I only hope that Mr Clifford or someone similar has signed a suitably large financial deal with Sgt Nightingale for his "exclusive" to recompense him for his losses.
