Hirst v Parliament, Executive and Judiciary
Article 1X of the Bill of Rights 1689
"That the freedom of speech and debates or proceedings in Parliament ought not to be impeached or questioned in any court or place out of Parliament".
I would argue that this, "questioned in any court or place out of Parliament", is not only unconstitutional but also incompatible with the Human Rights Act 1998; relying upon Article 10 of the European Convention.
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.
