Another day in dysfunctional Britain
Armed police in Gloucestershire raid the home of a man who grows tomatoes - because they thought he might be growing cannabis.
Meanwhile, our Human Rights judges refuse to extradite suspected terrorists to the United States - because the Americans might actually lock them up, something the British state increasingly dislikes doing to criminals.
It's tempting to make a quip about what our topsy-turvy criminal justice system might do if terror suspects were to grow tomatoes. But, alas, this is no joke.
Human rights legislation did nothing to prevent the big, aggressive state from rudely intruding into a family home in Gloucs. Yet it actively prevents bad people facing justice.
The politicians in SW1 might have decided it's not convenient to reform human rights law right now. I suspect our activist judiciary will make it pretty impossible for politicians to govern effectively without reforming human rights law.
