This Government and its acolytes really do have a capacity for either self deception or arrogant deceit which beggars belief. On the day we get Vara on Court fees looking pretty third rate in front of a select committee (Whose members didn’t seem to think he was worth listening to) we get the AG telling us that if anyone suggests that “sometimes that government is partisan, making decisions for its own benefit.” They are clearly in error. We are to believe the assurance of the AG that the government and its Cabinet will of course always act selflessly and dispassionately in the public interest rather than their own.
I keep thinking that this government cannot keep on talking such complete nonsense without being torn apart for it but they just keep on making more and more outlandish statements. He continues that : “ It is sometimes said that only judges are sufficiently detached to be able to take decisions which truly balance competing interests. ‘In my view there are circumstances where it is clearly right that decisions on matters of public interest should be taken by an elected, accountable politician, rather than by a court.’”
I await with baited breath a decision from the Conservative Party to publish full details of its election expenses cited in last night’s channel 4 News, and for the Government as our impartial guardians of freedom and democracy to announce an investigation into same.
As for this being supported by the Constitution, well I guess it depends on whose constitution he has been looking at. Kim Jong-un’s perhaps? No doubt some old buffer from the Conservative party will be wheeled out to tell us that this is one of the benefits of an unwritten constitution.
