Another example of Starmer meddling with the 'balanced and unbias courts of justice'
To be honest though you can see why he did it, and the Tories woulda done the same in power, and this is what i hate about opposition parties and the press. Most of the time they would all do the same, such hyprocrisy. Meanwhile time and money is wasted focusing or defending the wrong things.

With the planning that goes into a high profile arrest such as this, I'm surprised we're not hearing more about who authorised the arrests. This person should have had the statements necessary BEFORE the arrests were made.
Those 2 guys have a good case for wrongful arrest - if there's no ' enemy of the state' been proved, then there's no crime been committed .

Seems more than one news source agrees.

MI5 boss says China plot disrupted in past week - amid rise in state-sponsored threats
Sir Ken admits he's "frustrated when opportunities to prosecute national security threatening activity are not followed" - as a row escalates over the scrapping of a case against two Britons.
The OS Act says the information has to be passed to an enemy, so the prosecution must have been authorised on the basis Chinna was an enemy. MI 5, the NS A and ministers of the previous government must have known this. Nothing has changed so why did the CP S drop the case? It’s probably a wider weakness in the evidence which has been pinned on the NS A guy. A monumental cock up by the CP S who maybe should never have brought the case in the first case. They have jumped before they risked being pushed by the judge or the jury. It would help to know what information was allegedly passed. I recall civil servants always had to sign the OS Act. The bog roll was marked government property so taking a single sheet was a breach of the anti spying rules.

Yes and looks like it involves this and the previous government.
There's obviously something that they don't want out in the open
If it's about our security then it's difficult to really be on 1 side or the other without more facts
Failure to proceed is down to lawyers arguing the toss over a definition.
Such folly couldn't happen on these boards though

It looks like the official secret was gossip about the Torey party leadership race. Hardly top secret stuff. The prosecution was probably brought under pressure from the toreys, who are pi**ed of that their defence people were embarrassed. Kieth has done them a favour. It’s a national disgrace that as a country party political point scoring is more important than national security, and political researchers are seemingly disloyal to their country.

What was alleged against Christopher Cash and Christopher Berry in China spy case?
The two were accused of passing information to an agent who forwarded it to a high-ranking Chinese official.

John Boulton has just been indicted in the states because he chatted to his Mrs about state secrets.Spying ?? Every one is spying on one another
Jeez only a few years ago the CIA were caught bugging chancellor Angela Merkels phone
There’s spying in the sense of passing classified material, but this trial concerned a bit of info about the torey leadership race. Do we really want to imprison people for telling the chineese that Tom Tugenhat didn’t have a chance of becoming torey leader?

This is about the torey's trying to imprison their own. Stammer, and I don't accept he improperly influenced the trial, has done them a favour. Its ironic that inside information about the torey leadership contest was probably more secure in the hands of a foreign power than it would have been with a British tabloid with an agenda.
