Good theory, but she admitted she didn't even know the basics of British law. Making a complete mockery of the whole thing.

I imagine her replacement could learn pretty quickly.

Where did she admit that?

A Daily Fail article stated then doesn't back it up or mention it again in the article.

No other news media reported this, so I really have my doubts about the veracity of this statement.

It's reported here (and in a number of other places) without any reference to the Daily Mail or any other source for that matter.

If she didn't say it I'd imagine she'd be pretty upset about these claims and possibly considering legal action.

I wouldn't be surprised that, given all the time off it's reported she took*, she was asked to resign. Whatever the truth, it's all starting to remind me of the FA's legendary mishandling of the national team's managerial issues...

If she didn't specifically say it, then the newspaper where I read it is at fault. I was only repeating what I read.

Talk about ill fated...

Hmm! I see a connection between the last two postings..

Whilst this should be handled properly and as promptly as is practical i don't think this will ever be properly investigated or any consequences come from it. Most of the guilty come from the establishment and although a lot within will not support the guilty one's are probably disgusted by what they did they won't allow this to damage the whole. I won't be holding my breath waiting for the first person to be successfully prosecuted because of all this and the victims will at best get payoffs but not real justice.

I have a feeling that this will stumble along until everyone important who was involved is dead. The last thing they'd want is for someone to spill the beans and implicate a number of high profile establishment figures.

Corbyn must be involved here somehow, surely...
