BoJo banished - Liz Truss down. Is Rishi next for the toaster? **threadbans in OP**

That's not what that article says. At all. Nor is it what the judgement was either

Im hearing a bit of water cooler talk from a mate who works in the Home Office. Im told Truss has a massive sense of her own importance and people who work under her cant believe the size of her ego. Apparently she had a full blown affair with a senior politico at the start of her political career, her husband found out but he stood by her. She was planning on leaving her husband but got worried about how an affair might look on her political career later down the track so she went back to him. Another story about her self importance was when she was a junior minister she went to a wedding where she knew there would be BBC journalists as guests. Everyone stayed in the 5 star hotel where the wedding was held but Truss booked her family into a youth hostel down the road for fear the journalists would spin a story about 5 star expenses. The journalists couldnt believe it and they were laughing at the sense she has of her own importance, they couldnt have cared less if she stayed in the hotel.

Other than that my mates friends who work over in the Foreign Office are absolutely exhausted after 6 years of working to implement Brexit under Boris and Truss. They reckon they could have gotten Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe out of prison at least 2 years before they did except Boris put his foot in his mouth and pissed off the Iranians in public. Under Truss she has being doing her best to scuttle the Foreign Offices work on a house building program in Palestine as part of a peace treaty, she is pro-Israel and theres rumours she might be taking donations from them. Most working there are just shaking their heads that she is likely to be the next Prime Minister, morale is on the floor after years of Boris and now Truss comes along.

As I mentioned above, issues involving migrants and refugees and so on are only one element of what the ECHR does. Cases can be taken for a wide range of subjects by people who are not migrants such as freedom of speech, prisoners rights, disability rights, religious expression, discrimination in education or the workplace, rights of sexual minorities, phone hacking etc

And the law was changed, and he could be arrested. But, he seemed peaceful. He didn't throw anything, glue himself to motorways, start fires, ...

Too bad there's no guarantee of assembly in the UK.

Yes exactly, it was made with him in mind. Not as implied earlier that somehow protests have to be conducted in complete silence or otherwise they'll be deemed illegal.

So a whole new law just for one man because he hurt their fragile ego's?

What's to say this won't be used against other noisy protests?

Monopoli - you seem to think that there are different laws based on a person's political leanings. The Good Law Project must make arguments based on the law. Whether they are left, right, middle or totally non-political, they cannot simply take any action to court and win simply based on their beliefs.

Unless you actually believe that the courts are open to poltical persuasion?

Which would lead one to want a ECHR and EU courts to remove such political interference.

The UK government appointed someone with an appalling track record in a blatantly political move. They proceeded to do as good as job as could be expected from them - that is an appalling one.

Maybe if they'd actually followed any rules at all in 'finding' someone for the job, it wouldn't have been a patronage appointment that went horribly wrong.

TalkTalk. Severe cyber attack which showed a complete dereliction of duty (and attempted abdication of responsibility afterwards) by execs.

She shouldn't have been let near anything which ever involved personal data ever again. But she was.
