Now that it has finally been established that the program was actually a true representation of ‘preachers’ inciting child abuse, sex descrimation and murder may I ask if there will now be any prosecutions of the “preachers” for inciting hatred against homosexuals? Shouldn’t the apology by the CPS and the police now mean that the decision-makers in those organisations be dismissed. Shouldn’t there also be a full, independent public enquiry into the abuse of a public office by the CPS and the police?

If Mediawatchwatch will kindly put these questions to both organisations, MPs in Birmingham and the Home Office then I, for one, would be very grateful.
