No schadenfreude or satisfaction in seeing ‘prominent’ Trump
cheerleaders in the UK finally see the light & change their tune (Andrew Neil is just the latest). Just a low simmer at their toxic blend of arrogance, cupidity & ignorance & the knowledge that the media will still promote their ilk.

Imagine being Shadow Justice Secretary and being this ignorant of your brief.
It’s akin to a UK sports minister tweeting about “our national soccer ball game with the famous oval ball”.
It’s a toss up whether Jenrick’s most unappealing feature is his dishonesty or his thickness.

Almost every assertion of fact and law in Honest Bob Jenrick’s latest far-right-tickling rant is false.
But because I’m me, I feel it most important to point out that the statue of Lady Justice above the Old Bailey is famously *not* blindfolded.
As any real lawyer knows.

Quite possible that state school pupils have received lower grades as a result.
