BoZo wants the power for ministers to override judicial reviews. Our judicial system is supposed to be independent of politics.

I emailed my MP about BoZo's idea of removing passports/driving licences from drug users. I bemoaned the fact that after 50 years of punishing users and failing maybe it was time to try a different approach. I also speculated how much cocaine was consumed in Parliament. Two hours later the reports came out that the police have been asked to investigate cocaine use in Parliament. Maybe I'm prescient?  |
The politicians are high on something in addition to power.. You need to be careful about taking away peoples passports as a passport is a basic right of a citizen of a country, and taking away peoples driving licences does not stop many people driving... it just mean they will be uninsured, which is bad news if you are involved in a prang with them.
