I see that Ray Gosling is to be charged with wasting police time.
This relates to an interview that the journalist gave some time ago, in which he claimed to have killed an ex-lover of his who was in pain with terminal AIDS. At the time, plod arrested him on suspicion of murder, but have since changed their mind about the reliability of Gosling’s claims.
I don’t dispute that if Gosling’s claim was somewhat less than truthful, and that he had been attempting to spark debate, make a point, or even (such cynicism….) revive a flagging career, then he chose a damn-fool way to go about it, and probably has wasted plod’s time and public money; but….
….is there anyone better than the police themselves at wasting their own time?
I think it must have been that 
We’ve all heard of the murder case centred around the killing in Perugia, Italy of British student Meredith Kercher. However, I for one, was completely unaware of the virtual superstar status being afforded to one of the accused in the case.
Anyone who took a simplistic view of the recent Israeli air bombardment and subsequent ground assault on Gaza, may wish to read the following linked article from The Guardian.
