Nor did he apparently, given that the Supreme court overturned his ruling.

Wonderful chain of reasoning there.
Theresa May? She has an excellent track record for picking heads of inquiries.

Take the word interpret out of your posts. It doesn't belong in that argument. If you think that it it does then you've killed your argument from the start as people subject to laws have every right to criticise the various subjective interpretations of them that judges come up with.

The worst you can say about the criticism of Biro is that people have mentioned a previous ruling in a somewhat knowing way. No-one has plastered his face across the front pages and called him a traitor. Also his ruling has already been commented on by the supreme court, who overruled it. It is a judgment has been criticised, that criticism is available to anyone who can access the report. There's also a brief summary on wikipedia... It is an established ruling.
And of course it's reasonable to criticise previous rulings... I mean how the fuck do you think people go about reforming archaic interpretations of the law if not by repeatedly and persistently challenging it?

Charlie Falconer was on WatO just now describing this proposed in camera cabinet meeting as "very ill-judged" and saying that they should have organised security if they were worried about disruption and there was no excuse for not at least permitting the press to attend, and that he hopes they change their mind. He sounded quite upset about it. (He'd been hauled onto the programme to say what a super top bloke Sir Martin Moore-Bick is.)
It's all of a piece, isn't it, with their arrogance and incompetence.

Pretty unbelievable to be starting off without consulting with survivors and families. Even if they feel a need to keep the enquiry on a short leash, has May learned nothing from the child abuse enquiry about managing the process?

The disorder that lot will cause is almost as well signposted as the disaster was.
Learned? These aren't mistakes.
Which bit ?

Yeh. But you know the Grenfell bit will go into the secret cabinet minutes. The public bit will be the first two bits, and unless I miss my mark someone will then point out there's some reason to keep the main business confidential. And if they're not withheld they'll be the most opaque minutes you'll ever see.

ETA Woah!
'Asked on what basis the media was also being excluded, a different council spokesman said: “The press are the public. There is no distinction between them.”
Further asked if the council had evidence press could contribute to disorder, the spokesman said: “Well, I’ve seen the media kick off before.”'

Woah... They are trying everything. A clear concerted effort to be as secretive and authoritarian as possible.

I thought for a moment you made that last quote up to make K&C look even more ridiculous. But you didn't. Some sentient human being actually said it. To a journalist.
There are no facepalms big enough...

Wow! I was liking for the link to the press getting a judicial order, before the ETA. That council is truly gobsmacking.

The contents of that meeting won't provide anything of satisfaction. 100% of the councillors listed as attending are Conservative. It's a shame Judith Blackman can't make it as that might have have spiced it up. Paget-Brown also gets to approve the minutes before they're published.

The council become more gobsmackingly awful by the second. Meeting cancelled, because it being reported would be 'prejudicial'
