I’m glad, personally, that you are sticking with this coverage. I too would love to hear a solicitor’s views on this. I wonder if the popular YouTuber and barrister, The Black Belt Barrister, would be willing to share an opinion with you?
Any other government, including previous conservative governments, would have kicked her out of their party by now and removed the whip. She should be stripped of her title. Her best, “defence,” so far has been, “Let me remind you, lying to the media is not a crime.” I only wish that journalist had had the presence of mind to respond, “Can you see how that will make no difference to the people who lost loved ones?”
Indeed, I would have asked her what she hoped to achieve at all, by appealing to the public and doing this interview in the first place? In the last few years I have been genuinely shaken by the moral degeneracy pervading public life. Not just appalled by the government’s criminality and callous disregard for human life, but chilled to the bone that such people have power over us, when they are so clearly unfit to run a summer fait, let alone any organisation with the power to alter the lives of others.
Our country is out of control. And it’s frightening.
