Justice

The Tory Justice spokesman, Edward Garnier, today announced that “I take the view it is not satisfactory to have a law, and especially a criminal law, under which people can be sent to prison or fined when to a large extent it is not accepted in the geographical areas where it’s supposed to bite.”

Of course, Garnier doesn't mean this as a general principle to apply to everyone or every area, but to signal that foxhunting will be brought back if the Tories win power.

So here is the Tory approach to "justice" - their spokesman claims to support a universal principle which would be completely disastrous if he actually meant it to apply to everyone, in order to prepare the way to repeal a law which the rich and privileged find gets in the way of one of their cruel hobbies?
