He’s seen them reading clever books on the train. Elite.

Zia is having a normal one.

Reform's polling suggests we must take these sinister crypto fascists seriously but its so hard. The man is ridiculous.

If they're going to change every law that a lawyer can be involved with they're going to be very busy.

Were they Mein Kampf and Pol Pot's memoirs?

Before dealing with the Lawyers, I'd begin with the political adjacent spivs.

That sounds like a good job creation scheme for... lawyers.

So what do they propose? Stuff so simple even their supporters can understand it? An end to judicial review?

They're imagining a cross between the Scarecrow's kangaroo court from that Batman film (guilt taken as read, just need to decide on the sentencing - not that it matters because it's death regardless) and the Thunderdome. Bust a deal, spin the wheel. Two men enter, one man leave. No, not that last one. More like no men enter, several thousand leave.

Once again, the assumption that they'll never be on the receiving end. For good reason, the best way to make laws is to consider what you'd like to happen if you're in the frame.

Like those elite Stevenage commuters, lawyers read books.

Reform UK councillor blames 'mass immigration' for low Leicestershire reservoir levels

[soulboy]

Coming over here, drinking our water.

There are links between a lack of water and mass migration, but I lack the time, patience or single syllable words to explain them to Reformers.

[Tubby Isaacs]

It's the same thing Farage pulled when he blamed immigration for traffic jams. In a sense of course he's got a point, more people means more water and more roads are needed, but it's not the fault of immigration that we under invested in reservoirs. It's not even the fault of water companies, it's the fault of previous governments leaning on Ofwat to keep bills down. That is being put right now, in fairness, but this government won't get any thanks for it.
