WEEK 22: Trafalgar Square, today. Extremist mob on the left, ring of steel round a fucking statue on the right. Quiet crime day in London, I imagine 🙄 😡
A caller to #LBC on the subject of James Cleverly depicting the regular peace protests in London as "Mob Rule" starts with "I believe in the right to peaceful protest..."
There is of course a But: "But if the demonstrators are breaking the law..."
Nick Ferrari interrupts: "But they're not [breaking the law] are they - THAT'S THE PROBLEM..."
Anyone else get the feeling Nick's support for the right to protest is conditional on who you are?
They don't even need to be autocrats - any democratic constitution that grants majoritarian power to a minority (like Boris Johnson's 80 seat majority on 44% of the vote) has the right to pass Bad Law that is perfectly legal except...
Except when an overarching law like the #HRA or #ECHR allows the courts to judge Bad Law as unlawful.
The Nastiz get this - this is why they wanted to leave the EU (to nullify the ECFR) and why they want to abrogate the ECHR and HRA.
