Expensive failure

The Wiltshire police are doing a desperate PR job to make their attempt to pin child abuse charges on the former PM Sir Edward Heath look like proper police work. But as they made it clear from the outset that “guilty” was the only verdict they were looking for, and spending millions of pounds on trawling yielded just a crop of fantasists, it’s not going to wash. They’re not fit for purpose and everyone involved should be sacked.
