It will not have escaped FA.C.T member's notice that the recent statement made by the Deputy Prime Minister in respect of his personal difficulties included the comment that:
"It is totally unacceptable for the Mail on Sunday and other newspapers to trawl through a long list of people - some hardly known to me, ex-staff members, family and friends - offering large amounts of money to make allegations without substance."
F.A.C.T. have of course been saying this for some years. Trawling or dip sampling as it known is an abomination and an affront to justice.
Perhaps The Deputy Prime Minister will now convey his views to the Prime Minister and to the Home Secretary.
