Comments by "Ash Roskell" (@ashroskell) on "Today Rishi Sunak announced that a Law in parliament can change morality" video.

Overruling, or even threatening to overrule, the Supreme Court is as inherently dangerous as it gets. We can only hope that any attempt to legislate his way out of this bind is blocked by the Commons. I listened carefully to their ruling and it was comprehensively sound, reasonable and ultimately inarguable in its logic, as well as its morality. I was not surprised that the ruling was unanimous as any dissenting view would have to explain away rationality. Sunak’s rank entitlement is showing again, in yet another egregiously shocking manner. This is the most broken I’ve ever seen modern Britain. A snap election is the best we can hope for.

Regarding your question: It makes for an interesting topic of philosophical debate, but we can’t afford the luxury of academic discussion in isolation. I note that, “God told me to do it,” was not accepted by any court in the civilised world as a defence for anything, from Peter Sutcliffe to the Unabomber. Questions of morality CANNOT be, “legislated,” upon. We must only hope and pray that there is a, “way back,” from that? For the country’s sake. You were right to mention such thinking alongside that of Lukashenko and Putin. No, I cannot think of any (successful) attempt of a politician to legislate morality in modern democracies. That way lies dictatorships. Can cooler heads not prevail?

Agreed. At no point did Boris ever tell us, “Here is what you think.” But, wasn’t that what the whole, “Stop The Boats,” rubbish was about in the first place? I still, to this day, cannot find a single person who even asked for that policy or who sees it as important. Plenty who express horror and alarm at it, even among conservative voting friends. And when I ask them, they agree that it seemed to drop out of a clear blue sky! Ipsos MORI polls consistently show that migration and asylum seekers are among the LOWEST priorities among voters! And the numbers don’t lie either. We take far fewer immigrants of any kind in the UK than all of our European counterparts! It strikes me that Sunak and his other two brown skinned brown shirts (Priti Patel and Suella B) have been attempting social engineering with this notion since the start? Telling us we, “care,” about this, so as to sweep up the far right and the low level bigots along with the nose-holding conservatives faithful, all under one big tent? They have seen the Americanisation of politics as a future in which they will prosper. That’s my theory. Stoking deliberate fear, division and anger (which always draws more attention on the internet than anything positive: there are comprehensive studies to show this, and platforms like Twitter have been exploiting the fact for over a decade now) are the way to command the greatest number of eyes on screens, ears to listen and, (who knows?) votes at the polling booths? It’s a cynical strategy, metastasised from within a morally bankrupt corporation, masquerading as a political party, calling itself, “The Conservatives.” An oxymoron if ever there was one.
