TOPIC: Home Secretary wants to break the law

Home Secretary wants to break the law 12 Years, 3 Months ago  
T May given a raspberry in the Abu Qatada case - and quite right too; no evidence, no proof, you CANNOT lock up an innocent man.

Media horrified of course; "guilty man gets away with it" a FAR better story.

Quite a good thread Hedda - worst Home Secretary in our memory? Toss up for me between David Blunkett and Michael Howard.

Best? Roy Jenkins or Ken Clarke.

When you go to bed tonight,
Kneel down beside the bed,
and say a little prayer -
"Thank God for the independent Judiciary"

Without them, we'd be like Zimbabwe, Syria, Iran, Libya, et al

Of course, individual Judges do sometimes make daft decisions (they are human) but on the whole the system work (to protect us).

Difficult choice when choosing between mediocrity and mediocrity.

BOTH simply kow-towed (to keep their jobs)

... but we could have the SAME discussion about Foreign Secretaries too.
