Our thanks to Alan for this. An extract:
Speaking at the end of the two-week trial, Mr Armstrong said: “My whole life has been turned upside down.
“For a year now I’ve not slept or eaten and I was innocent.
“Were it not for the fact that crucial evidence was disclosed to my defence team just eight working days before trial there could well have been yet another miscarriage of justice in this case.” [J4MB emphasis – the alleged rape took place 14 months ago.]
One can hope that, as this is both another case of last minute “disclosure” and close to an MP, legislators might reconsider their blithe disregard for young men. And they may join Philip Davies in actually reading and thinking about “virtue signalling” laws and debates rather than loftily wafting through stuff that “protects women”.

Liam Allen, Isaac Itiary, and now Samuel Armstrong, all male victims of an ideologically-driven anti-male justice system in which the ‘believe the accuser’ approach prevails, and ‘innocent until proven guilty’ no longer applies. This on top of the horrific experiences of Mark Pearson.
The Met will have found a scapegoat, but there can be no doubt that this is a systemic institutionalised problem influenced by feminism with confirmation-biased surveys and distorted statistics. Not believing a ‘victim’, far from discouraging real victims from coming forward, actually encourages false accusers. The police must obviously take a complainant seriously, but they must investigate thoroughly and impartially,
This is the tip of the iceberg, and one dreads to think how many innocent men are in jail due to miscarriages of justice resulting from police and CPS corruption and the false and evil ideology of feminism.

Logically it must be many and it is vital that all push for reviews of recent cases where innocent men are in prison or carry the unwarranted stigma of being on a “register”.

Luckily he wasn’t in Sweden when this alleged incident happened. Another day, another false rape accusation ruining a man’s life and career (and they are the lucky ones). I assume this one happened because the woman was embarrassed to be caught wandering the halls of Westminster in the early hours of the morning, reeking of alcohol and sex? Someone really needs to teach young women some emotional self-control…

In fact it would probably not be prosecuted under existing Swedish Law. Although the legal definitions actually vary considerably from country to country, generally the current English definition of any penetrative sex without consent follows an American (Californian) lead in defining any such sex as rape. Generally on the continent, including Sweden it seems, the laws still require evidence of assault, force and/or coercion. As was the case in England before the new law in the Sexual Offenses Act 2003 . If the report on Sweden is true it just means they will “catch up” with England. Its not that Sweden isn’t ,a feminist haven, but on this issue it is the USA and England that have the idea of any sexual activity without clear “consent” being Rape or serious sexual assault.
