1. What a shame the Rule of Law is fickle.

It applies when a protester calls a politician a 'Nazi',

But not when a politician calls 52% of voters 'Fascists'.

2. It applies when the UK hints at breaching a treaty,

But not when the EU sticks 2 fingers up at the German Constitution.

3. It applies when a man urinates next to a monument,

But not when others deface monuments.

4. It applies when someone with a criminal conviction is prevented from managing a suburban building society branch,

But not when a person with previous presides over the European Central Bank.

5. It applies when a campaign group exceeds its budget,

But not when a defunct political Party loses its accounts.

6. It applies in Brexit negotiations,

But not when a previous govt. went against NATO, the EU & the Security Council to enter into war with a country that posed no proven imminent threat.

7. It applies if you fail to microchip your pet,

But not if you bludgeon a fox & brag about it on social media.

8. According to MSM, it applies if you visit your parents in Durham,

But not if you visit your (ex Labour Party) parents in Wales.

9. It applies if you use the 'n' word,

But not if you refer to Cabinet members as 'coconuts'.

10. It applies if you're beaten in Hong Kong,

But in France there's nothing to see here.

11. It applies if you prorogue Parliament,

But not if you gift control of the Commons to a rabble of remainers.

12. It applies if you take measures to protect free movement of goods within the UK,

But not if you interpret provisions in a way that could prevent food entering Northern Ireland from GB.

13. It applies when Russian interference is suspected,

But not so much when a certain Belgian assists the Lib Dems in their 'Stooooop Brexit' campaign.

14. It applies to International Treaties, even when the other side mislead,

But not when it comes to our Constitutional Law: https://twitter.com/Peston/status/1303767431492636675
