Evidence Based

You did not have to like Saddam Hussein (as the British foreign policy machine used to do, unlike the Left) in order to wish to see any evidence that he had weapons of mass destruction. No such evidence was ever produced, and Tony Blair, for one, now freely admits that there never was any.

You do not have to like Vladimir Putin in order to wish to see any evidence that he ordered the Salisbury attack, or even knew anything about it. No such evidence has been produced, and Jeremy Corbyn, who was right about Iraq, is being screamed at hysterically, by the people who were wrong about Iraq, for wanting to have sight of any.

And you do not have to like John Worboys, indeed you can think as I do that he ought still to be in prison because of what has already been proven against him, in order to be horrified at the idea that the Parole Board ought to have kept him locked up because he had not owned up to 80 offences with which he had never even been charged. If there is any evidence against him in those cases, then let it go to the Police.
