David Davis, the Shadow Home Secretary, has displayed that he too is not fit for purpose and therefore should not become the Home Secretary. I refer to his comments that it has set a disastrous precedent for a party to settle out of court when faced with an indefensible case. This is not a disastrous precedent, it is a well established principle of English law that a party who has been injured can sue the offending party. It is common sense to pay up rather than incur extra costs trying to defend the indefensible.
What got David Davis's goat up was that the Home Secretary has abused prisoners over failing to allow them to have the treatment they were entitled to under the NHS. That is, methadone as a heroin substitute whilst they were weaned off drugs. The Home Secretary forced the prisoners to suffer cold turkey in an attempt to save money. The message from David Davis is clear, he wants the opportunity to abuse prisoners and not suffer any responsible accountability.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
