Heffer talk out of his backside

Simon Heffer in today's Telegraph makes a case for jailing Gordon Brown: "Simply losing the next general election is, frankly, not enough of a punishment for a man who has inflicted such damage on our country that people won't even buy government bonds any more. An example needs to be made of him. I want him behind bars."

Heffer is of course talking out of his backside if he thinks that what Labour has done is criminal. Stupid, crass, idiotic yes … criminal no.

Irrespective of how we feel about the numpties in power, the law of the land is clear. We must not resort to the court of public opinion.

oh hang on … where have I heard that before?
