The government (last government, now) is chipping away at certain aspects of justice, and riding utterly roughshod over others.
The latter is behaviour more suited to a banana republic than England. Hopefully this sort of thing will help the new lot to remember that we can be as bad as anyone else.
Don't hold your breath, though.

I've worked in a Banana Republic or two in the past and I can tell you that you generally know where you stand with the authorities- and that is don't trust a word they say! There is something familiar in that thought here in the good old UK.
ReplyDeleteWhilst Labour have done a lot of good in liberalising a few laws paricularly on discrimination and hater crimes, they have failed miserably on the freedom and democracy of the people. Many of the laws we have now restrict YOU the decent people in that Big-Brother can spy into almost every area of your life with no particular reason.
I pray- and don'rt do that often that the new lot will try to do things better.
Well having read the agreement between teh Tories and Liberals I was actually quite impressed, and I didn't vote for either. Fingers crossed.
