I can do no better than cite the excellent article on anonymous witnesses by Geoffrey Robertson QC, published in today's Guardian.

Jack Straw announced this morning on Radio 4 that emergency legislation would be introduced to permit anonymous witnesses in criminal trials, following the Law Lords' sending back of a case to the Appeal Court in which anonymous witnesses were used.

So the 'Bradford 5' are now free....
But how free are any of us, when mere thoughts of rebellion are considered enough to convict?

Political correctness gone mad
