Owen Paterson - 'there's nothing to see here...'

[life on mars]

Right decision.

I can well believe there are grounds to reform the process, and a lack of right to appeal is very curious, and this whole thing with his wife committing suicide and the level of support for him makes me suspect something is out of the norm here.

But you cant reform things retrospectively or to save one person. Presumably if they reform this standards committee structure, then he can be considered in future.

Either way, it was all a very bad look.

Totally agree someone was badly advised maybe Carrie had a whisper in Bo Jo ear , do agree right to appeal is a fundamental human right.

I also think it should not be judged by MP 's something like a court of arbitration based on fact and reason .
