Traditionally April 1st is All
Fools Day and judging by what we have heard and seen from the electoral
combatants so far perhaps All Fools Month would be a better description for
2015. One factor that can be laid before us is the extreme unlikelihood of
a certain Chris Grayling being allowed to appear before a television audience
to encourage support for the Tories. If he were to do so it would be akin to
Rosemary West publicly applying to be a foster mother. It ain`t going to happen.
I cannot remember a Lord Chancellor/Justice
Secretary who has alienated more groups
who operate under his authority. Lawyers of all persuasions including the CPS
who of course must remain silent, probation officers, prison officials of all
ranks including those charged with inspection, judges, magistrates and of
course the very concept of Justice itself.
Even for readers inclined to vote Tory it would be interesting to
question your candidate as s/he occupies the doorstep for two minutes as to the
legacy of said now former Lord Chancellor. In four short years he has tarnished
the concept of British justice. It is hard at this stage to consider how what
has been lost will ever be regained.
Who's Ruth West? Did you perhaps mean Rosemary?
