Ben Brogan on Harriet 'Court of Public Opinion' Harman

All rise! The court is now in session. Those supporting old-fashioned notions such as the rule of law can get out now...

Mr Brogan reports in his blog:

Emerging from my weekend wilderness, I've been trying to work out why Harriet Harman's "the law is what we say it is" policy sounds so familiar. Where have we heard this sort of nonsense before? And then I spotted the photo of Robert Mugabe stuffing birthday cake into his face. Of course! A quick spot of Google, and here it is:

"It might be enforceable in a court of law, this contract, but it's not enforceable in the court of public opinion and that's where the Government steps in." Harriet Harman.

"We are no longer going to ask for the land, but we are going to take it without negotiating" Robert Mugabe.

"It may be necessary to use methods other than constitutional ones." Robert Mugabe.
