Wesley Wags the Finger

Presumably because he isn't yet in charge of privatising them, the verdict of the courts is still just about good enough for Wideboy Wesley Streeting. Team Starmer's fresh-faced junior salesman displayed no such deference towards the doctors whose expertise he blithely shrugged off, let alone towards the scroungers and shirkers who are leeching off their naïve diagnostic largesse. Had the verdict in the Letby case been otherwise, one wonders whether Wesley would be so reticent about overruling it: what diagnoses of mental illness have in common with claims that justice has miscarried is their blurring of the distinctions between Innocent and Guilty, Nice and Nasty, and Goodies and Baddies. Such relativistic shenanigans risk calling into question the whole principle of the witch-hunt, and thereby undermining the entire moral foundation of British practical governance in general and Team Starmer in particular.
