        Anyway Sir Keir has a piece in The Sunday Telegraph- so
        that’s good.

        ”stop banging on about Brexit “ it says.

        good thing Keir never did that.

            Haven't the Tories already effectively jettisoned such trivial concepts of human rights?

              the problem with UK sentences is not that sentences are too short- on the contrary

                Regarding comparisons with the 70s and 80s, the police brutality apparatus in those decades was busy persecuting unions, CND activists, Irish republicans, the New Left and so on, but now it can be concentrated on refugees and/or Muslims given that those former "others" are largely gone. Popular racism is about the same given that we had "Curry and Chips", "Love They Neighbour", Jim Davidson, etc, back then. Daily Telegraph/Spectator racism is pretty much a constant over the decades; they are still fighting the Mau Mau, as it were.

                  I think there’s a difference-in that 1) in the sixties and seventies there was lipservice at least to the ideas and principles of liberal democracy, that we were all equal under the law etc

                  moreover the direction of travel was then to help those rights be secured-by Equal Opportunities legislation, ( including in Northern Ireland) availability of Legal Aid and establishment of Law Centres and so on.

                  Now they aren’t even pretending

                            Black men were always targeted by police brutality over and above those you have named.

                              I agree with that and wasn't trying to claim otherwise but should have made it clearer. I'm aware of SPG and police brutality during Notting Hill Carnival, for example; and the Brixton and Toxteth uprisings (not "riots") obviously sprang from that.

                                        The judge in his trial, Mrs Justice Whipple, is an ex-colleague of mine, just. She was originallly, very briefly, a solicitor before ditching that to qualify as a barrister, and she was two years ahead of me at the City law firm where I spent most of my career - she qualified into the same department as I did, but I only really overlapped with her in my time as a trainee, as she left around the time that I qualified. It is so weird seeing people who you knew as fellow juniors now in the news as pillars of the establishment.

                                          I guess only a safe pair of hands would get a case like that.

                                                  This article is really something else in the Johnson Fuehrer cult

                                                    It wouldn't surprise me if Johnson was in (relative) financial dire straights. He seems to be the sort of person who spaffs money as quick as it hits his bank account.

                                                    But I should imagine there are plenty of funds salted away in trust funds.
