Thought for the day…

The first object of any tyrant in Whitehall would be to make Parliament utterly subservient to his will, and the next to overthrow or dimimish trial by jury. [It] is more than an instrument of justice and more than one wheel of the constitution: it is the lamp that shows that freedom lives.

Lord Patrick Devlin (1956)

    Bridget Dunne. What are you doing here if you still believe that principle of justice??

    From The Times 30 Sept 05
    The Prime Minister also gave his strongest warning yet that “traditional civil liberties” would not stand in the way of new anti-terrorism laws.

    Never heard of “Control Orders”??
