It’s routine question asked. To testify in court, they’d be under oath, so if they’re found to be lying or give a false statement, that person would then be charged for perverting the course of justice or perjury.

Quote:
If any person lawfully sworn as a witness or as an interpreter in a judicial proceeding wilfully makes a statement material in that proceeding, which he knows to be false or does not believe to be true, he shall be guilty of perjury, and shall, on conviction thereof on indictment, be liable to penal servitude for a term not exceeding seven years, or to imprisonment . . . F1 for a term not exceeding two years, or to a fine or to both such penal servitude or imprisonment and fine.

I wonder how many people are currently in prison despite swearing an oath and pleading not guilty? They must be particularly upset about it if being under oath equals telling the truth. They call it perjury.

In this particular case though, the witness has video evidence to back up his claim. He’s safe.

The funniest part of that is the bit that states

According to individuals with knowledge of the video’s creation, it was Delingpole who spotted the Labour leader through the window of Durham Miners Hall.
He must have bloody good eyesight, as the Durham Miners Hall is set back over 75 metres from the road - this was pointed out to me by a few ex-colleagues who now work at Durham University...

I wonder if that bit will be repeated under oath?

Many thanks.

I guess if it's a routine question then we shouldn't attach too much weight to it.

I suspect we'll hear something on the police's decision next week. Pure guess!

I think you are a bit confused, how many witnesses plead guilty/not guilty to a crime?

Someone accused of a crime who appears in court may not wish to testify and would not have to take an oath.

Pressure is mounting on Sir Keir Starmer over Beergate as Durham police have asked a witness if they are prepared to give evidence in court.
Quote:
One told The Mail on Sunday they had been asked by police to testify in court
I think Ivo has misinterpreted what the Police may have said to him - I discussed this yesterday with our friend (who is a Regional Crown Prosecutor with the CPS), and they thinks it’s likely that the local Police (if/when Durham Police took a statement from him) would have informed him that if it goes to Court, he may be called as a witness.

They also pointed out that the decision whether or not to prosecute would rest with the CPS, not the Police, and the CPS would contact any witnesses if a prosecution was happening.

Shocked and surprised a story in there is lacking in facts, how do they get away with this shoddiness, guess it's because it's what people want to hear

Come off it Hugh. There is that little bit of technology on a camera called zoom.

The video is as clear as rain, that’s Starmer holding a beer, with other people in situ. It’s a social event, Starmer should be being fined and fall on his sword.

Good of you to point out that Brexit contributed to the rise in the deficit, though…
We always knew, and it was always made clear, that there would be transitional issues. It’s not been helped by obstructive EU behaviour.

Yes, Labour would probably ignored the people’s choice. Shame on them.

I’ve always said that Starmer’s party breach was more serious than Boris’s cake ambush. The event was held AFTER, not DURING the working day.

His penalty should be more punitive than Boris’s, but I say that without malice.

A zoom lens that can change the direction the photo is taken from?

The photos were taken directly from in front of the window; the gates at the bottom of the driveway are at (at least) a 45 degree angle to the windows…

The guy went snooping, presumably he was tipped off that the Labour Party was there.

I'm not sure whether he was close enough to the action to ascertain it was a social event and not a work event unless he could identify non-Labour workers there.

Not confused one bit, I was commenting on someone being reliable if they take an oath in court. Many people plead not guilty, go on to give evidence (swear an oath) then proceed to tell the court a load of lies and end up being found guilty.

Also, someone who says they are willing to stand up in court and testify that the whole event was social gathering when they weren't there for the whole event (quick video through the window from outside) is pretty much admitting they're more than happy commit purgury.

Maybe he was alerted by the noise of the revellers.
