Wuh. Good point, well presented - but:
Young Bale probably wasn't "eloquent enough" but, equally, he probably wasn't well advised; or even advised at all.
As a senior officer you would expect to fight your corner and win, because you would make sure you were well briefed and because you had the resourcefulness to challenge the bureaucracy. Well done.
The average L Cpl (or for the sake of relating to military aviation: the average SAC) doesn't have your firepower. The average L Cpl does what he's told, because that's how he's trained, even when it comes to (amateur) summary hearings.
As a senior RAF officer you must have seen how compliant junior ranks are when faced with the boss in an orderly room. Very few contest the evidence; very few deny the so called offence.
Oh boll...s I've suddenly run out of motivation. I'm going to lie down in a dark room

Signed, over 11,200 now. The fact that the punishment handed down in a military non-judicial disciplinary procedure is afforded the same weight as a civilian court conviction beggars belief. Which 'rocket scientist' thought that one up?
signed post #8491, if he had been an illegal immigrant who jailed for killing a child by dangerous driving. he would have been allowed to stay as it would have contravened his human rights because he had a british born child@#@!!! The whole system sucks he is obviously an easy target for the border agency to meet its net immigration targets!!

I have signed the petition as has my wife.
However I would have preferred to have signed a petition aimed directly at the Government and The Border Agency. If I am allowed to post this, this website indicates how it can be done. Usual preamble required: epetitions.direct.gov.uk/how-it-works/
As we have got so far with the petition it may be too late to change.
Where can you find a journo when you need one ?
