Ok so, I always found it a bit suspicious that a bunch of lawyers could draft legislation so badly you could hang a parliament in the loopholes. Leaving to one side the carpet bagging labour peers ,taking a rain check on the 'Moscow mole' barely glancing at the intriguing and charmed (or is it just well sponsored?) career of Lord Mandy and his near miraculous return to grace, government and a villa worth 16 times his income, mind you rocking horse shit must be a highly valued commodity *snigger* and wafting away the spin doctor generated smokescreen which tries to draw the public eye back to the mouldy, old (and far less publicly damaging) bones of Tory sleaze.
I now wonder what other influences might have an interest in ensuring our laws did far, far more than what they said on the tin. You know the kinda thing; suddenly finding that anti-terror laws can be used more effectively against white collar fraudsters than a really superhappyfunguy like this , or give councils, energy companies and simply oodles of other 'concerned' bodies invasive powers that would make the most hardened Stasi operative weep for joy.
Some people, somewhere have undoubtedly found such 'oversights' incredibly useful and we should be as concerned about the possibility of loopholes being engineered that damage our liberty as we are those that damage the efficacy and fairness of the system...
