Many thanks as ever, Joshua.

The points made and markers for the future concerning interim measures articulated by the head of the European Court of Justice dovetail tellingly with those of the authors of the letter identified in your contribution.

The government’s actual rather than professed stance on this subject seems to be a case of :” Yes, we have a (relatively) good human rights record vis-a-vis the ECJ- and it has to stop whenever we say so!” Being further interpreted, “we” expect that (foreign!) Court to uphold OUR domestic interests but also to keep its meddling hands off any issue which might impede or delay the UK government’s factional (and party electoral) interests.

Now on the contrary THAT very factionalism and xenophobic attitude HAS to stop.
