Thread Name: BS: 'Sir' Philip Green
Subject: RE: BS: 'Sir' Philip Green
I think the issues have been spelt out very clearly, numerous times.
Are those that bluster unable to follow the carefully constructed arguments or simply refusing to accept that they are hopelessly wrong?

There seems to be a total inability to accept/understand by certain posters that Parliament creates laws,the judiciary interprets them.
That is it. end of story.
If the law is shown to be inadequate because of unacceptable outcomes Parliament must recognise the fact and legislate to make it acceptable.
Bleating it is not fair is not going to change anything and members of both houses using parliamentary privilege to thwart the judiciary are leaving themselves wide open to censure. Do not forget the man that created this situation is the man that claimed he was so busy he forgot to declare £100,000 of donations.
Furthermore
The peer who exposed Sir Philip Green for trying to prevent the reporting of gagging orders himself insisted on confidentiality when settling a legal action involving the police, it was alleged yesterday.

Lord Hain, 68, the former Labour cabinet minister who named the Topshop tycoon last week by invoking parliamentary privilege, faced potential accusations of hypocrisy after he insisted on confidentiality in a settlement involving a defamation claim against him by a Scotland Yard detective.

Well, well,well!
