Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime

So, let me get this straight, a few days after running an election trope about recruiting 20,000 more police and how he was going to be tough on crime, neither Johnson nor is Foreign Secretary could confirm that the Government would obey the law.

Despite telling the Queen, The Supreme Court, the press, heck anyone who would listen that prorogation was not to frustrate Brexit. Raab would not say if the Government would simple re-prorogue Parliament if the Supreme Court judged law had been broken and orders Parliament to reconvene.

Clear, the law, like tax and other inconveniences, are for the small people, not for the likes of Cabinet Ministers and Prime Ministers.

Either tomorrow or Tuesday, the Supreme Court will announce their judgement, and either democracy is turned on its head or the Prime Minister and the Privy Council will have mislead the Queen.

Amazing whichever way it goes.

So, how can a Prime Minister claim to be tough on crime when he is contemplating breaking the law himself?

Madness, but situation normal in Brexitlalaland.
