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.
