Constitutional law is well above my pay grade but for those politically minded this article might provoke some interesting considerations.
In what might be described as a who rules here case at Trinity College Cambridge a pro-Palestine encampment on Trinity lawn was dismantled yesterday morning (02/06), after the College acquired an interim high court injunction against protesters. Deny it as they will there is no doubt that immature academic minds have absorbed more than most others the hateful propaganda emanating from the awful Gaza conflict. For those with perhaps limited memories academics at all levels within their institutions in 1920s and 1930s Germany were amongst the most eager to absorb the increasingly lurid antisemitic tropes disseminated by Joseph Goebbels and his acolytes prior to the Nazis gaining power in 1933. .
Finally an interesting case before the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office last month might provoke some reaction. Readers of course will come to their own conclusions but I do wonder if presented to an individual applying for the magistracy whether or not it would be an encouraging feature. Is there perhaps a case of a deeper delve into magistracy applicants` mores including political and/or social opinions?
