We have government of the lawyers by the lawyers for the lawyers . Could they please get better at the law? Could they get onto the side of the British people instead of so often siding with questionable interpretations of foreign treaties and courts?

Why did our government lawyers not point out that the International Court of Justice who advised we should give the Chagos away has no power to judge a UK case involving a Commonwealth member?

Why did they not remind us the US accepts no judgements of the International Court of Justice?

Why did they not point out under our Treaty opting into the Court we have the right to unilaterally amend the terms of membership?

When advising on the human rights of illegal migrants, why do they not point out that France under the same human rights laws comes to a very different view over what they have to offer them?

Why don’t our government lawyers find a way to strengthen or enforce the law against illegal boat trips, money laundering , people trafficking and dangerous voyages to stop the small boats.?

Why don't they want to enforce and strengthen environmental and fishing law against plundering 100 metre plus industrial trawlers in our waters?

Most of us want to live under the rule of law, but we want one that's fair to taxpayers and voters legally settled in our country. The government lawyers are out of touch with the public mood.
