Law and order is what governments strive to achieve. Sometimes they fail miserably. Like the Labour government, they are so disorganised that they break the law. That is why the Joint Committee on Human Rights scrutinises the government and Parliament and publishes its Report. Finding failings in the government’s responses to court judgments finding breaches of human rights. As the 16th Report concludes, in the prisoners votes case, condemning the government’s delay “While the issues involved give rise to political controversy, they are not legally complex”. Therefore, the government really has got no excuse for dilly, dallying about. The government chose to respond to Red Top headlines and editorials rather than the electorate or what was right. Murdoch has no vote he does not count.
The electorate wants security, not deprivations of liberty allegedly based upon some rather vague hyped up so-called terrorist threat. Law and order is not always the same thing as security. If the government breaks the law in order to get security, we have none of them which creates insecurity disorder and lawlessness.
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.
