Meanwhile, in a development that surprised nobody but senior idiots in the Tory Party...
@RickGaehl I don't think it probably surprised the senior idiots, either. Braverman included. That wasn't the point, they win politically either way.
It's actually probably better for them if the courts block it, because it was never going to work. If it goes ahead and fails to reduce "small boats" or whatever, they own the failure. If the courts block it then they can say "Well, we had a plan, but lefty activist judges and lawyers abused the law to stop us doing it" and blame their failures on someone else.
@VoxDei
Yup - all sounds quite likely. Something similar will probably happen with those ridiculous prison barges too.
@RickGaehl Aaaand there it is. It's almost like Braverman has no interest in solving the problem that allows her to manufacture outraged culture-war sound bites for the Daily Mail, the Torygraph and the BBC.
