I don’t particularly have an opinion about Mr. Goodman. I do, however have an opinion about this government’s ability to uphold the rule of law. In case you missed it, this comment made by Harriet Harman over the weekend sums up the whole problem.

The prime minister has said that it is not acceptable and therefore it will not be accepted,” she added.

“And it might be enforceable in a court of law, this contract, but it is not enforceable in the court of public opinion and that is where the government steps in.

And if you can’t see why that statement is unbelievable, outrageous, repressive, populist, frightening, undemocratic, probably a taste of things to come and quite frankly idiotic then you never had much regard for basic freedoms and liberties in the first place.

I’m horrified.

Looks like it backfired on Harman anyhow and Brown backed away from her comments quicker than a ferret on speed (not that I care what he thinks, but at least that’s normal politics in action rather than some weird Alice-in-Wonderland 21st Century populist dystopia)
