Having a definitive law means flexibility to adjust penalties for the specific offence. Thr Tory burk hasn’t done himself or his party an favours.
Quite right, but he's been on this trip for quite a while and other such issues have similarly crashed because of his input. Yes, on the face of it he's a Tory Burk, BUT his mates on the Tory benches are even more so; they should have stopped him several years back. Leads me to think he's simply a fall guy for the party; who want to be seen to be supporting popukar causes and then quietly stangeling them when no one is thought to be looking.
In strictly legal terms, this would have been bad law and almost unenforceable. Proper parliamentary scrutiny would have made it work - that's what he was trying to do.
