Honourable Chairperson, I would argue that it is in fact higher than a suspicion, that on the probabilities they are lying and if one looks inasmuch as my learned colleague has argued that the Clackers incident should be separated from the rest in that they were motivated there by the need to close down Mrs Clackers' shop because of the consumer boycott.  Mrs Clackers was indeed robbed and that cannot be denied and that wasn't politically motivated and so if the concession is made there, I would argue that that is the basis upon which one can infer that they were in fact involved in the theft of the non-weaponry items in the other incidents as well and that that takes it above suspicion into a reasonable probability.
