Trust me, there's SFA you could write that would offend me. I've been insulted by professionals!
Come to think of it people from most professions!

Re: The Carl Beech fiasco
Peter Hitchens has spoken out on this case:I have been a national newspaper journalist for more than 40 years, and a pretty alert citizen for longer than that, and I can recall few incidents as shocking and urgent as last week’s astonishing public statement by the distinguished judge Sir Richard Henriques.
Judges try very hard not to attack the police directly in public. They know the public must have confidence in them. They are supposed to be allies. But Sir Richard is not just criticising them. He is calling for the prosecutions of some officers.
Sir Richard made a detailed and forensic investigation of the appalling ‘Operation Midland’ three years ago.
He knows far more than he has ever been allowed to say about police failings and misdeeds in that idiotic pursuit of innocent men on the basis of mad, incredible charges from an obvious fantasist.
So if he thinks there should be prosecutions, there should be. There should be much more than that. It is time for a full inquiry into what the police do, what they are for and what powers they should have.

No one would have known had not the woman concerned blackmailed him and he refused to pay up .
The other charges were all dismissed .
