    I'm not saying you should. It depends on the context of each situation. But I relish the swarm and the fact that rapists like HW may actually be brought to justice now. And you can't have it both ways. If you want to see that happen, there has to be some kind of a "swarm" to create an environment in which women feel comfortable in speaking out. What everyone should be mostly concerned with here is that they haven't for so long not the fact that suddenly they have but a few minor transgressors or innocents have been caught up in it. It's a simple matter of moral priorities as far as I'm concerned.

    That someone committed suicide doesn't suddenly make them the victim of an injustice.Baden

    And yet he did not have the benefit of natural justice.
    He was suspended from the party on an accusation and did not even know the name of his accusers.

    This is contrary to basic justice, and there is all too much of it in the Labour party whose right wing is desperate to suppress the rise of the left. Iain McNichol the chair of the NEC has suspended thousands of party members and they wait, some for over a year to have their case heard.
    There is a witch hunt against the followers of Corbyn.

    I cannot accept justice by allegation regardless of the situation or the "scum" involved. "... all allegations must be examined and pursued..." Corbyn is right.Cavacava

    Do you accept innocent until proven guilty? Then why the sacking?
    Do you accept that a person has a right to know the details of the accusation and the names of their accusers? Because he was not informed buy summarily sacked from post and suspended from the party.

    Is there evidence of this?
