ILLEGAL IMMORAL ILLEGITIMATE

Shock news just in: lawyer found with a conscience! Will more laywers follow the example shown by Glasgow born QC Ian Macdonald who today announced he had had enough lending credibility to Labour’s shameful immigration policy? Let’s see what happens now he has stuck his neck out.

Macdonald spent seven years as a special advocate to the Special Immigration Appeals committee but now believes the systems is “fundamentally flawed and contrary to the deepest notions of justice.”

The resignation is extremely unusual and leaves New Labour exposed as the only European country to bring forth such draconian legislation. Three years have come and gone and ‘detainees’ have not even been questioned it emerged yesterday.

This is just a total disgrace and one can only hope a few more members of the elite legal classes might search their conscience to see whether they want to be associated with such a regime.

As I went to post this news just in that five more barristers are now reported to be threatening to resign.

There’s always a tipping point…
