JUSTICE DOWN THE PAN

Anyone vaguely connected with the justice system is aware of the reduced level of service at all levels as a result of the unadmitted and shameful reduction in financial support for these services.  Indeed in 2010 when he was Justice Secretary Kenneth Clarke MP, he of the REMAINER till I die persuasion, was proud to announce that he had slashed his budget by over 23% before the then Chancellor had broken the news. Now it`s official and public knowledge that Justice has taken the biggest hit of all government departments since then. What an indictment of Coalition and Tory attitude to this indispensable safeguard for our democracy and system of government. For them it was and is justice down the pan.

    It is Wednesday morning and I am doing what I do most mornings - see what is troubling our politicians. As far as Kenneth Clarke is concerned, you would have thought he would have been proud to defend the CJS and to resist the swingeing cuts that have been doled out in the name of austerity. But no... Even now he continues to attempt to thwart the will of the people over Brexit. When he had power in his hands he misused his opportunities and is still doing the same in the House of Commons. So sad that he feels himself unable to make the transition from curmudgeon to a useful member of society.
