What on Earth are you talking about? Can you either apologise or provide a link to a source stating that 'her competence was upheld by the highest court in the land????' A jury at the inquest delivered an 'open verdict', the strongest verdict that they were allowed to give. The jury found that the police (under her command) had deliberately lied regarding the circumstances of the execution.

If it had been a supremely incompetent male tokenly promoted well beyend his talent, in charge of officers who had executed an innocent female and who had then been awarded an honour on clearly no other basis than 'we need to encourage more men to seek senior roles in the establishment' then you can be sure it would be a feminist issue.

Now why don't you spend your time more productively voting down feminist posts instead of sermonising on what is and isn't men's rights? It's people like you are holding back the movement, not 'misogynists'.

Have at it man, RAGE RAGE RAGE against the opinions of other. That'll show them all how objective you're being...

Seriously, she was office staff, controlling resources which acted independantly doing the best anyone could with the limited information avaiable and within the policy of the organisation employing her.

A court is a gathering of people in good standing with the objective to disciver the truth and to pass judgement, the highest court is a court of peers, the peers are the Jury. The jury can override anything. The Old Bailey being both the court house and the venue, one of the most recognised criminal courts in the world and the procedures being followed being almost beyond legal reproach except for the court of appeals.

If you'd framed this as a equality issue, were a female was promoted beyond her ability and then rewarded solely for the appearence of rewarding her, well then you'd have to support your statement. And I may not disagree with it.

As for the movement, get real mate, it's a culture with many micro movements all indepently trying to make a better way. But framing this issue as you did is clearly damages most of them and creates the impressoin that we're mindless morons...

Also I rarely downvote anything or anyone, it's not my way to oppress others but to support those things I belive in positively.
