Not my experience at all Egger.  Police don't even suggest the charges - CPS do that so it's certainly not the case of the latter simply going along with what the former want.

Any cosiness between the two is PR: the CPS are seen as a pain in the butt largely.

'Throwing charges around in the hope of catching folk' hardly applied when it came to prosecuting Asian groomers did it!
