Absolutely disgusting he thinks he is speaking for all of us it's ridiculous the money wasted it's unfathomable they have wasted billions since in power , but they have made sure they themselves have done alright get them out .
The civil service of EU is the EU commission. Its servants are recruited by competitive recruitment. It´s leader, the President of the EU Commission, is elected by the EU parliament.
Thank you Peter, as a 77 Year old I am appalled by what this Country has become we have basically a UKIP/BNP Government quite happy to break international Law, disgusting.
Totally agree with you. I’m becoming increasingly ashamed at being British. Sunak and his tawdry government may speak for the bigots and xenophobes, but they don’t speak for me!
Sunak thinks the law doesn't apply to him, his greed and power have gone to his head.. he lies in parliament constantly, and is unchallenged so he thinks he can do whatever he wants and laws don't apply to him. This government is in breach of so many laws . We need the system changed so they can never pull this shit again
He's deluded. NEVER nobody likes him nobody wants him. He has lost the respect of the whole of the uk if he had any in the first place. He sneers and grins at serious subject matters. He's embarrassing to watch
Sunak is drunk with power. What does having honour and principals matter when he has power. Its almost better than reaching that £billion mark, because he gets the satisfaction of seeing people suffer. How very sayisfying. Good job the entire civil service isn't bent like him.
Sunak is weak & lacking in any vision or moral compass. He allows the "failed Apprentice show" campaign team in No.10, to inform his every move, yet ignores Civil Servants with decades of experience!!
"To every subject of this land, however powerful, I would use Thomas Fuller's words over three hundred years ago, ‘Be ye never so high, the law is above you.’" Lord Justice Denning, 1977
Sunak is a little despot. The cruelty in that man makes me sick. Seriously my biggest gripe is the son of immigrants to this country now wanting to take people's rights away including ours.
Israel is criticised. Is Hamas criticised for starting this conflict on October 7th 2023? They had a ceasefire then even though Hamas fired rockets on a weekly basis into Israel even then.
@@trident6547 the conflict started in 1917 with the Balfour Declaration. Ignoring the past to omit the horrific crimes of the UK, Zionist Settlers, and Palestinians, and re zero to the most convenient date for the Isreali narrative, is intellectually dishonest.
Any civil servant given an unlawful order by a minister should read up on the German "Mauerschützenprozesse". Just "following orders" is no excuse, and as nobody knows what the future will bring, they should ask themselves: Are they willing to go to prison for 2 to 3 years for manslaughter or something similar, in case something happens to a refugee on the way or in Rwanda? All just for a gimmick so that the Tories can celebrate a short term victory? It would probably be better to take overtime, annual or even unpaid leave instead, no matter, what courts decide.
The Tories and their client media chums don't care about piffling trivialities such as the rule of law. That kind of thing became passe when Brexit became reality.
Remember what happened in Germany about 100 years ago, and what the result of it was. Since a few years the UK is going exactly the same way, repeating the same mistakes. Lessons learned from history? Definitely not!
One of the more blatant Sunak lies is his constant reference to the ECHR as a "foreign court". It is absolutely not a foreign court, it is an international court of which the UK is a founder-member, or actually even THE founder-member. This is not "semantics" but a description of everyday working reality.
Hello Peter. You explain the situation very clearly. I assume that this will mean that civil servants will not be able to be sacked for refusing to carry out a minister's directive if it is seen to be in violation of international law?
After that statement, they should once rule of law finally starts to kick their butt, they take responsibility an prison time for them. This is pathetic.
I wrote a longish comment in the DT to this appalling piece, pointing out among other things that, it was the Union, not „civil servants“, that the Code of Conduct was brought in under a tory government, and that the argument „I was just following orders“ didn‘t go down well at Nuremberg.
Same time this country has a law says If anyone refuses to work you can sack them on the spot When i was the manager I sacked few of them over the 20 period on the Spot i think one or two came back after a lenthy court case.they never come back and work under me.they were all British white people i am Asian. That time national front was in the peek i was always very scared to go home after work. I never park my car in the company car park . .
Glad someone is looking at all the other things that this government is doing while we 2atch the genocide on our screens. Vote green or independent. Barb
All wrong. The FDA is simply trying to protect its members. If the courts do find the plan illegal then they can and should refuse to implement it. And visa-versa. Seeing solicitors squirm in the Horizon enquiry is a good example. You shouldn't just do what your paymasters say if it is illegal (the old "I was only following orders" is no defence).
@@Royboy50 what the fuck do you think protecting members from jail for obeying illegal orders is. Therefore if the government is trying to make them break the law then they should fight. Or when your boss says go sell that smack and you get caught you'd say I was only obeying orders.

Yer right read the guardian if you like utter left wing garbage the times are changing people are sick of this woke crap and by the way go TRUMP
The Telegraph, though always right wing, did once represent a high standard of journalism.
It truly is the WORST newspaper in Britain. And when one thinks of the competition, that's quite a charge.
Spot on
Prosecute Rishi
Typical reaction by the Tory press 😡
Abiding by the law is not a plot. Plotting is something criminals do, like our government.
Sunak broke the law, send him to jail now.
Absolutely disgusting he thinks he is speaking for all of us it's ridiculous the money wasted it's unfathomable they have wasted billions since in power , but they have made sure they themselves have done alright get them out .

Never ever again with the Tories .

“I was only obeying orders…” Nuremberg?
What a deranged argument
our ancestors fought wars to free us from shit like this. winston would be going ape to think the state our countries in
This just goes to show that rich tory boys think they can do anything they want ,
they are in control of the train set and can crash it if they want .
Of course, they aren’t paying the bill.
Mind blowing stuff. Prime minister stating that he will break the law. Madness.

Didn't Nuremberg trials prove that "I was simply following orders" does not prevent individuals from being held accountable for their own actions.
The Tories and their client media chums don't care about piffling trivialities such as the rule of law. That kind of thing became passe when Brexit became reality.
The Cabinet should be met by the Police, when they vacate No. 10.
How surreal can it get ?
Don't see the problem... Criminals routinely ignore laws

Rwanda must be safe because the government says it is. Worthy of Humpty Dumpty.

I’ll sleep better when the conservatives are out of government
The 'Crystals' they mention to explain their 'clarity' ; are they gout crystals? They are excruciatingly painful.
"I was only following orders." Has not been a defence since The War Crimes Trials post WW2 .
After that statement, they should once rule of law finally starts to kick their butt, they take responsibility an prison time for them. This is pathetic.
Next time I get pulled up for speeding I’ll tell the officer that I am ‘ignoring’ The Road Traffic Act 1967! I wonder how far that will get me 🥸
"I was just following orders" was not defense at Nurenburg, so our PM wishes others to either be law breakers or unemployed.
And conveniently, there will be a different government soon. More of the same, just moving the goal posts.
The tories read 1984 and thought that sounds great
Remember ignore international law what rights will we have because I don't trust Sunak
