At last TPF to face a jury

I go outside for 5 minutes to check the quadruped grass mowers and this gem comes in. Government on a Friday afternoon.
In a judgment released this afternoon, Chief High Court Judge Justice Tony Randerson said it was in the public interest to authorise a prosecution.

TPF is to finally face the music over alleged deals for immigration as an MP. Hopefully very strong sunlight will be shed on the subsequent involvement of senior Labour MPs post initial allegations in trying to spin their way out of trouble.

The beak also noted the allegations are
extremely serious in that they strike at the heart of the administration of government and the integrity of members of parliament

A certain piece of retrospective validation legislation fills me with the same conclusions. Pity that piece is not on the same platter about to be tested by a jury.

It will be entertaining to watch court dates be set and slip right to post election time next year to ensure nothing interferes with the next questionable action by this government - self preservation at the ballot box.

Let the jousting begin.
