Why the feck is no one talking about that nasty piece of retrospective legislation pushed through Westminster yesterday?
You know the one... Judge rules workfare illegal, meaning those sanctioned whilst on it are entitled to compensation... Government pushes through retrospective legislation negating this...
This is a scary precedent because,
1)The government has shown that is can retrospectively make something that was illegal, legal and vice versa. This completely undermines the rule of Law
2)The government has done this solely to avoid paying out a relatively small amount of compensation that these people were entitled to by law.
