Duty of Candour 20:05 - May 20 with 388 views

The calls for a duty of candour that follow from the bloods scandal, Hillsborough and the Post Office scandal resonate with me. I can’t think of an argument as to why it should not be made law.

However I fear that our politicians will drag their feet on this. Can you imagine them holding public servants to account whilst obfuscating and lieing through their teeth a la Boris.

They already have dragged their feet. Bishop James' report gave them an open goal, he recommended they implement in full the proposed Hillsborough Law, including a duty of candour for all public servants.

Alex Chalk, the justice minister instead is pressing ahead with things like ensuring the police have a duty of candour in the code of ethics, which would be effectively toothless as it would be policed by Chief constables.

He seems unaware that the Hillsborough cover up involved the tacit direction of the SYP Chief constable.

Abject failure of the govt to adequately address the issue which is far bigger than bent police. The culture of cover up is what we do.

Is sickening and is ongoing.

Poll:

This new lockdown poll - what you reckon?
