A former IGP is reported in the Press as saying that if one party to an act of sodomy is guilty then the other must also be.

Age can cause confusion and, sometimes, memory loss, but one would expect a person with that background to remember that everyone is innocent until proved guilty.

Or that everyone is entitled to a far trial without the issue being decided publicly in advance by no matter however eminent has-beens. When in doubt do not speak out. When un-informed silence is the better course. The current IGP seems to be doing a good job. Time for his predecessors to recall that silence is golden and pontificating often ill advised.
