What were they thinking of?

The Metropolican Police have made a complete mess of their investigation into the Carl Beech affair. How so many 'professionals' could be fooled by this man is beyond belief. In my opinion you only have to look at him to be suspicious.The problem of course is that authorities in general are 'frightened to death' of not believing accusers and that they are automatically telling the truth. The problem now is that the opposite reaction could occur and that genuine victims are going to be viewed upon with suspicion.

Those that I feel so sorry for are the accused who have suffered greatly and some of them have gone to their graves not knowing that they were proved to be completely innocent. With regards to Tom Watson, his position is now untenable and should resign immediately for his part in the bungled operation. I will also be surprised if Cresida Dick survives and also that the Met. Police aren't taken to court over their actions.
