Shamed expenses cheat Denis MacShane will not be prosecuted...for swearing down a megaphone during a demonstration last year. The former Rotherham MP was reported to the police after launching a four-letter tirade in front of a crowd in October, but no further action is to be taken due to lack of evidence.
He might not be so lucky the next time the cops come calling...
Lack of evidence ? What sort of evidence could there be apart from those who were there and heard him ? As it was also reported in the Rotherham Advertiser, is this a sign that all that we read in that paper is not correct information ? Or more likely, another sign that not matter how disgracefully our MP's behave they will not be prosecuted and can continue being above the law which the rest of us have dutifully obey.
