Was Peter Hain a bank robber?

Question

I have read in the Sunday Times that the Northern Ireland secretary Peter Hain was once charged with bank robbery and later cleared.

The article suggests that this may have been politically motivated by the then Aparthaid regiem in South Africa and ignored by the government of the day. If this is true and the people who were in government then are still alive, should they be prosecuted?

Answer 1

Some might say he still is a crook and a liar...

Answer 2

Peter Hain has worked long and hard all of his political life. He started here in UK back in the 60s campaigning to end apartheid in South Africa - I remember seeing him on TV back in those days. I was not sure then that he was particularly 'Labour' but thought of him as being a supporter of the 'Liberal Party'.

As to Peter Hain robbing a bank. The idea is laughable. To be a successful bank robber you need to be a big hard mean and tough geezer. Peter Hain is none of those.

Answer 3

despite if or no longer human beings accept as true with the BNP, they're a political social gathering who has a increasing type of supporters among the British public. As outrageous as this might seem, the easy actuality is the proportions of the inhabitants are vote casting for this social gathering and so might desire to settle for a similar therapy via the BBC as the different valid political social gathering the regularly occurring public are vote casting for. the belief the BBC propagates is taken under consideration one of impartiality; this is the antithesis of this theory in case you will choose for who the BBC is in a position to be independent to and not. it relatively is a service, of direction, paid for via the regularly occurring public and if the regularly occurring public is vote casting for a social gathering then they have a staggering to take heed to what they might desire to declare. relatively it relatively is a case of censorship to deprive the voice of any social gathering and one might wish the extra recommended a public, the extra possibly they're to make the wonderful determination of their political alliances.
