What Alan Johnson and Jack Straw have in common is that they both have a tendency to knee-jerk a reaction to media reports rather than think policies through.
Johnson to ban sale of the legal high mephedrone
Home Secretary will act immediately after report from advisory council
"The legislation is expected to be hurried through Parliament before it rises for the general election campaign".
Instead of hurrying through legislation which is needed to stop the government breaking the law in relation to denying prisoners their human right to vote, Alan Johnson is seeking to make illegal what is legal. Surely, making legal what is illegal should be a priority?
UPDATE: Rushing mephedrone ban is wrong
