Reposted by Jim CorneliusThe Empty City @davidallengreen.bsky.social · 16/10/2025One interesting spot is that the CPS seems to have got the law wrong for the first witness statement and asked the witness to give evidence to the non-applicable National Security Act rather than the applicable Official Secrets Act.
