86 | ->Speaking of which, I’ve always thought that Franchise/{{Batman}} [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation hired Robin simply to draw fire]]: throwing a teenage boy a bright yellow cape and telling him to run through a darkened warehouse full of goons. There seems to be little difference in getting Michael Gove to dress up in a bib and plus fours and throwing him into a roomful of barristers. Gove’s appointment as justice secretary seems to be somewhere between a sardonic trolling of the judiciary and simple misdirection. If he ever does have to produce a Bill of Rights it will be a [[Film/TheProducers Producers]]-style clusterfuck that draws attention away from all the real business of the government. |
