In the name of God go!

Baroness Scotland is the Labour Attorney-General, the chief legal officer in the Government, has been fined for unknowingly employing an illegal immigrant as a cleaner. Ironically she has been found to have breached a law that she shepherded through Parliament when she was a Home Office Minister.
Even more ironically, the Government assured small businesses when the law went through Parliament that it would not lead to people breaking the law unknowingly.

Her position is now untenable. The person who has ultimate authority over the decision to prosecute over breaches of the law cannot remain in her position after such a breach of the law - especially a law she helped write. Gordon Brown has said that because she did not knowingly know the law, she should not resign. Possibly if it were any other Ministerial position, I would agree, but because she wrote the law and also because of her position, she must go. There was once a time where a Minister would have resigned days ago. Sadly these days are clearly gone. I would have thought that after the expenses scandal, politicians would have sought to do anything they could to avoid a 'one law for politicians, one law for everyone else'. It would seem not...

To quote Cromwell "go and let us have done with you. In the name of God go!" Such language could easily be applied to the entire Brown Ministry...
