No political edge at all Mapmaker. As a former professional officer of the Superior Courts I accept verdicts as correct but that's no hurdle to trying to rationalise how juries get where they are. My speculation about DLT was, as everybody else's, based on what was reported. It seems The Guardian has now covered some stuff pertaining to credibility that had not been covered before - that may have been crucial.
The comment about Stuart Hall had irony on/irony off switches at start and finish of post. If your computer's not showing them you might wish to consult an IT professional ;-P
