Alan Johnson: Get out and get out now!
"Government fury as judges attack security services
Ministers back MI5 after highly critical verdict on secret service involvement in Binyam Mohamed case"
In a direct challenge to the court, Johnson said he totally rejected its verdict.
Since when does the Executive overrule the Judiciary? Alan Johnson has no public power to reject a court decision. Only the Supreme Court can reject the verdict.
There is too much of this Executive intereference with court decisions. Jack Straw has ignored the European Court decision in the Prisoners Votes Case.
These politicians should have thought about becoming judges instead of politicians if they want to become judges of legal cases.
Alan Johnson should offer a full apology or resign.
Read the judgment here.
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.
