What would Darnton say?

If you're wondering about the impact of yesterday's grudging 'Payback' announcement on the Darnton V Clark case, then the answer in a word is: "nothing." The case is still on. As Bernard Darnton clarified yesterday:

Libertarianz leader Bernard Darnton this afternoon welcomed Labour's promise to repay the money they misappropriated for their election spending but noted that paying it back isn't enough.

"As the Speaker points out in her report on the matter, paying the money back doesn't make the spending any less illegal," said Darnton.

"The real problem here is not really the amount of money misspent. It's the fact that the Government thinks it is above the law."

    Analogy:

    You are the Wilderbeast that just broke a leg.

    What chance those lions are going to cut you some slack and the other Wilderbeasts are happy knowing they are safe for a couple of days.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
