Pendragon (April 8th, 2018)
May I in turn quote Lord Denning, Master of the Rolls in the 1990s:
Great point Pendragon. Its best for citizens of a country to avoid extremes in all things and support a government of checks and balances and the rule of law over any individual (no matter how charismatic that leader may seem to be).
Lord Denning 1899–1999
British judge
To every subject of this land, however powerful, I would use Thomas Fuller's words over three hundred years ago, ‘Be ye never so high, the law is above you.’
in a High Court ruling against the Attorney-General, January 1977
It's always worth reminding governments that making laws does not place them above the law
Some days, it's hardly worth chewing through the leather straps....
