My review of the book stephen ward was innocent ok the case for overturning his conviction by geoffrey robertson confirms that the corruption within the structure of the british political system runs very deep indeed and this book reinforces that view

Don’t buy it though if your personal politics means you can’t agree with or even acknowledge its basic premise
