I was interested to see last week that the consort of a Past Master of the New Labour project has chosen to return to the public eye as the defender of the human rights of certain buy-to-let operators, said to have been infringed by a Conservative change of tax policy for these people. Now one may or may not agree with the merits of the change in question, but I do not think that it is the sort of thing that we had in mind when we signed up to the human rights convention. This is a bread-and-butter tax policy, not human rights, issue.
I associate now to reports from years ago when the same lady was leading the charge on some of the more bizarre ramifications of equal rights legislation.
Her fees for these important contributions to the upholding of the law of the land are on this occasion, as on the last, undisclosed.
