A Grievous Prospect

Dominic Grieve, whom Britain's Head Boy recently booted out of the prefects' common room for not being right-wing enough, has apparently just realised which party he has been living in for all these years, and it seems to have come as a bit of a shock. In a speech at my own alma mater, University College London, the former attorney general accused the Government of operating a faith-based policy with regard to putting the Euro-wogs in their place. Grieve pointed out that withdrawal from the European convention on human rights would call into question the devolution settlements for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland; although the obvious unionist solution to the dilemma (abolishing devolution and re-uniting the Kingdom, while incidentally giving all those unemployed soldiers something useful to do) does not seem to have occurred to him. Grieve is pained "as a Conservative" because the coalition's excuses for its own human rights violations are being appropriated by a lot of greasy foreigners; and he even claimed that a document drawn up by the notoriously reality-based Chris Graybeing may be somewhat to the right of the facts. Well, of all the cheek.
