Mr Chalk has updated the guidance, which dates back to 2006, to remove the deductions from future payments made under the scheme.

F’ing hell. If it’s not the Tories doing bat shit stupid things ita Labour. Jaysus we deserve better.

PR now!

Tatters,

Chalk is my local MP. Although he is a rising star in the Conservative Party, he holds a marginal seat which was Liberal Democrat for a long time, until Chalk won it. I will be surprised if he retains it next time.

HikuNoir,

The accuser shoud pay.

I’d recommend you read up on the case before saying such things. The rape victim is not at fault here, prosecution was brought by the CPS based on shit evidence. The victim now has to live with knowing her rapist is still at large and also guilt (unearned) that an innocent man has lost half his life in prison as a result.

jellybreadracer,

I can’t believe this is a thing the uk. I get it if the state does not want to pay reparations to this man (although they should) but this is another level. Glad it was decided correctly

Navarian,

Yeah, the fact that

Man who spent 17 years in jail for crime he didn’t commit won’t have to repay prison living costs

Is even a headline is absolutely beyond me – things have been getting pretty bad over here in the UK. This post would honestly fit in ‘NotTheOnion’.

Reparations would have been correct. At least this outcome wasn't as bad as it could have been.
