One rule for us and another for them?

The Mail's revelations about Baroness Scotland is no real surprise to me. The fact that

"The minister in charge of prosecuting criminals has been employing an illegal immigrant.

For the past six months Attorney General Baroness Scotland has paid Loloahi Tapui, 27, from Tonga, to look after her large family home in West London. using the National Insurance number issued to her as a student.

Last night Lady Scotland denied knowing of her illegal status and fired her immediately.

But Lady Scotland could theoretically be prosecuted under laws that she is paid to enforce."

is not overly surprising. In my experience the newly wealthy are overly likely to think that the rules don't apply to them and to treat their employees/servants less well than those who have been brought up with money.

In any case Baroness Scotland is one of that cabal of Labour justice ministers who have imposed regulation upon regulation upon businesses and individuals in this country and in many cases placing the onus on the individual to prove their innocence. So by rights she should have to prove that she had taken all required steps before employing "an illegal". Red Rag has the full chapter and verse on what Baroness Scotland should have done, did she carry out all the checks. Theoretically if she didn't then she she should be charged but then this is Labour Britain when the laws imposed on the general population do not apply to those who rule us.

One law for us, no law for them"; we should know our place, pay our taxes and stop carping at those who rule us.
