Emeritus Prof Christopher May<p>Aha, Justice secretary <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/AlexChalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AlexChalk</span></a> has launched (a relatively expected) attack on &#39;lefty lawyers&#39;:</p><p>&#39;In the last 10 years there’s been a growing &amp; I think regrettable trend for lawyers to actively parade their politics and identify more with their clients... [&amp; it would be] much better for lawyers in the main to keep their politics to themselves&#39;!</p><p>So, if I had a <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/lawyer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>lawyer</span></a> I&#39;d be wanting them to identify with me not the Govt.</p><p>But of course a failing (&amp; unjust) policy must be someone else&#39;s fault!</p>
