It seems important that witnesses are encouraged and allowed to speak the truth confident that while they might be called to account for previous lies and illegitimate actions their voluntary revelation of the truth will be taken into account in deciding what action, if any, is to be taken against them.
Do you include Shirley in this?

I think you must have had a day in bed on December 27,2006.
Still sleeping off Christmas I suppose. Because you obviously missed

When it was pointed out to Iain McKie, in no uncertain terms, that he or his daughter would be
told by the Court whether they gave evidence or not the following codicil was meekly added to
that website.
It should be noted that Shirley and Iain could not and would not refuse to give evidence to a judicial enquiry under oath.
They will however no longer be specifically campaigning for an enquiry.
Then on December 28, 2006
TheHerald ‘
McKies can’t walk away’
Since you seem to have plenty of time on your hands you can look it up yourself!
Here's what Iain said on the 29th
The "McKies" can walk away and are walking away from campaigning for an inquiry given that they have devoted a decade of their lives to obtaining justice in the face of organisations such as Unison.

Ms McKie was cleared of perjury and received £750,000 from the Scottish Executive in an out-of-court settlement earlier this year.
Ministers have rejected repeated calls to hold a public inquiry into the case of the former police officer, from Troon in Ayrshire.
"My daughter has spoken the truth from the beginning, but she is still being called a liar."
Just a couple of quotes from your BBC Link Above Daktari, Thanks for allowing me to post them.
Many a man would have given up after ten years fighting for justice (And who would have blamed them given what they have been put through) but thank God Iain & Shirley have persisted in their quest for the truth or we would not be having this Public Enquiry.
Sincere Best Wishes to them both.
See you at the enquiry did you say before, I will be there Monday for sure should you want to speak and declare yourself.
