    Gwapito: Much like John comparing child abuser Savile

    To clarify it for those who failed to understand what I said about ‘historical cases’.

    Mark Stephens, the lawyer interviewed on TV this morning, said, to bring a charge, the CPS would need to to prove possession, which they could because she admitted that on oath, and that it was in the public interest, but the ‘historical nature’ in her case, meant it could not be in the public interest.

    My comment about the ‘Jimmy Savile circle’ was not comparing the cases, but was to highlight that the ‘historical’ nature of those cases was not a bar to prosecution, so why should the same criteria not apply Nigella.
