Political Police, Now the Courts Follow Suit.

The founding principle of democracy in the UK is that the Police, the Judiciary and the courts are independent of political influence.

Over the past few decades, I as a citizen have seen the politicisation of the Police.

Now it seems the Law and the courts are being increasingly used for political ends. Of course Tony Blair's meddling with the legal process and the courts went really unnoticed. But his was the government that removed the treason laws, and also the concept of double jeopardy, so defendants can be tried ad-infinitum.

For instance the re-trial of Tommy Robinson even after the court of appeal quashed his conviction for contempt. He's now being re-tried on different charges. Obviously the first ones and the kangaroo court that initially convicted him didn't to the job, so it's now down to another court to convict him.
Effectively he's being tried and tried until either his money runs out so he cannot afford legal representation or he just rolls over and walks to jail.

The latest crime against justice is the legal case against Boris Johnson for claims made during the Brexit referendum campaign.

Interestingly no-one has taken the leave side to court for their provably false claims of financial Armageddon immediately after we voted to leave. Nope, just the remain side has the pique and the finance to bring such a legal challenge.

Just as with Gina Miller and her legal challenge, it's all about hamstringing the political process with the power of the courts.

But why are the Remain side using the courts? Sore losers? Spoilt Children? The result of decades of "nobody loses" mentality in schools?

More importantly, who is funding these expensive court cases?

And why aren't more people on the leave side being hauled into court?

Why Now? Why when there is a leadership contest ongoing in the Conservative party? That question I think we know the answer to: to knobble the best Brexiteer candidate.

But... where does it end? Can we sue climate scientists for their false claims on climate change?
After all the climate hasn't warmed anywhere near their imminent disaster forecasts. The earth and humanity are still here despite it being past the deadline for climate catastrophe.

It's stupid. it's silly and it's malicious. The courts are no place for this.

Let's have debate. If you don't like what Boris says, debate him, have a go at debunking his viewpoint.

But don't stifle free speech just because you're a bit peeved and a sore loser.
