A few years ago........about ten or so...........when
applying to be appointed as a Justice of the Peace a candidate had to declare
which political party had been the recipient of his/her last general election
vote, had to demonstrate that "common sense" was a faculty s/he had
and could be demonstrated and that he was or was not a Freemason.
With the current new advice from the Ministry of Justice the
last of those three declarations has been lifted; the others were removed some
years ago.
So now those who objected to having to demonstrate common
sense, owning up to which party they voted for or confirming or denying they
were on the square can apply in good conscience to my boss Jack Straw via the
Appointments Committee.
I wonder what changes in the
Ministry`s estimate of what makes a good magistrate will be mandatory in 2020.
