The UK government's reaction is less admirable. It is taking steps to ensure it can end criminal investigations when it pleases, free of interference from uppity judges like Lord Justice Moses and Justice Sullivan. Her Majesty's loyal opposition is loyally backing the government; perhaps the Tories too have something to hide. Nobody of any importance seems to care very much that the UK government is discarding the rule of law in response to Prince Bandar threatening the UK with terrorism.
