You persist in your idiocy when the simplest of searches proves you are talking out of your arse. As usual.

So, Starmer didn’t “not prosecute” Savile; he just didn’t prosecute Savile.

Ant didn't prosecute Savile either, and nor did I. Did you?
We need to know the answers to just exactly didn't prosecute Savile, I bet there's a whole world full of people guilty of that one.
Where's my crayon dammit, I'm gonna write into GB news about this.

I'd guess there's more to this than is printed, but I'm not that fussed. When I first read of this this morning the BBC site only had a picture of the top half of the statue, there's a conspiracy in the making.

Of course the full story is a bit less interesting for those determined to be offended by someone being offended.

Where's my crayon dammit, I'm gonna write into GB news about this.
As Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Keir Starmer was the most senior public prosecutor in England and Wales and responsible for leading the CPS.
The CPS failed to review the case properly and failed to prosecute the most prolific child abuser and rapist the UK has ever seen.

Now he may claim he didn't take part in the actual decision, but he presided as DPP and CPS, it was his job to make sure procedures were robust and policy was suitable.

As the most senior person in an organisation it's on you if your department fails. It's piss poor to take the salary for being the top man, and then crying it's not your fault when the department fails.
