The latest arrest in Operation Yewtree illustrates the muddle that this investigation has become
British newspapers have decided not to name the 82-year old “celebrity” arrested in Berkshire on suspicion of sexual offences as part of Operation Yewtree.
The political blog Guido Fawkes and other news sources have decided to name the individual, however, as “there was no legal reason not to report this news”. They suggest that the individual supposedly is the Australian entertainer Rolf Harris AO, CBE.

This kangaroo court is becoming an almighty muddle. The police would do well to clean up this matter with urgency.

Insulting the name of Comrade Robert Mugabe in a downtown Harare bar room, will result in one soon discovering the true meaning of the term ” Kangaroo Court” Britain is famous for double standards.
Matthew: Bang on once again. Why didn’t the Mail, Sun, Mirror, Times, etc publish earlier? As you said on Twitter, DOUBLE STANDARDS rule.
