Attacking the wrong animal

In all the acres of comment about cat fights, hush puppies, the law as an ass …nobody has pointed out that the real trouble was caused by a goat.

If only Theresa May had not said ‘I kid you not’ when regaling the faithful members of her party with a handily economical tabloid version of the reasons for a judgement about the proper application of human rights law in this country, then the Right Honourable Kenneth Clarke, QC, MP, Lord High Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice might not have felt that his goat had been so well & truly got.
