When I was at court today one of my colleagues was saying that what is patently an absurd idea looked to be gaining ground and we were urged to write to our MP's to explain just how ridiculous it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871367480602637.post-88481487368959901122014-06-05T13:28:07.001+01:002014-06-05T13:28:07.001+01:00Wasn't the MoJ, apparently.
