Same with Internet Explorer (Spawn of the devil) a 404 error.

(Oops, at least two un-PC words in there already!)<br /><br />However, he complained to the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman on the basis that the suspect liquids weren't tested in his presence.<br /><br />The complaint was upheld, the prison management apologised to the prisoner, a fine from his prison wages were refunded and the offence expunged from his record, although he didn't seem to dispute having the drug, merely the procedure used to test for it.<br /><br />Hope the chap in the recording doesn't suffer any reprisals, because presumably it wouldn't be too difficult for the authorities to work out his identity.Stuart Wintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772436419630464325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-57948218941673023962011-02-21T02:17:38.320+00:002011-02-21T02:17:38.320+00:00PS, Iain, I just listened to this and I think that...PS, Iain, I just listened to this and I think that a meeting with yourself, Crispin Blunt and Charlie would be a very good idea.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17774822085901274565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-15737029571603359502011-02-21T02:07:38.763+00:002011-02-21T02:07:38.763+00:00Thank God you are back! :o))

It is an absolute eye opener and should be played to our "Justice Secretary" at the beginning of every single day.<br />What intrigues me about stories like this is the way they never, ever seem to reach the mainstream media where they would have a much wider audience. I don't expect the BBC to carry it but I could just imagine the uproar it would cause if the likes of the Daily Mail published Charlie's interview.<br />Thank you for bringing this to our attention.Henry Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00447003961256484619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-42007846160518422042011-02-19T17:42:13.166+00:002011-02-19T17:42:13.166+00:00Iain, three points :

I am so depressed at what your guest had to say. I just wish that Kenneth Clark would be given the boot and Michael Howard was brought back to manage the direction of prisons.
