DISINTEREST

I don`t usually sit at the keyboard at approaching midnight but I make an exception having just watched Question Time on BBC TV where Kenneth Clarke was the senior politician on the panel. The same K. Clarke who as Secretary of State for Justice is soon to pronounce on his plans for the country`s magistrates` courts. Not one question on this or any other matter affecting “justice” was asked when of course as the programme is recorded an hour before kick off and the audience knows who are appearing indicates just how little interest real people have in this subject. Is that good or bad?
