At least of some charges, anyway.
I'm sure that this is just the beginning.

Yes. Yet another triumphant waste of public money for Operation Yewtree and its genius architect former Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer.Quote:

It has been a complete disgrace and has secured a tiny number of convictions and hasn't even charged half of the people whose lives it has sought to wreck. It has also been selective in its targets. Bill Wyman walked into his local copshop to admit his indiscretions and was told they weren't interested in him. So much for the good intentions of Yewtree in revealing the crimes of yesteryear, eh?Quote:
