The Attorney General plays a pivotal role in upholding the rule of law, ensuring justice, and protecting public interest within the UK’s legal system. The Attorney General also provides legal advice to the Crown, the Government, and individual government departments on matters of law. This role involves interpreting the law and advising on the legality of proposed actions or policies.
The position of Attorney General can trace its roots back to the medieval period, though not formally titled as “Attorney General”. The role began to take shape in the 13th century when legal officials were appointed to represent the King’s interests in legal matters.
And that brings us to Lord Hermer – the current occupant of this prestigious and ancient office. He was appointed to that position in July of last year by Sir Keir Starmer.
During his legal career Lord Hermer has represented alleged IRA Leader Gerry Adams; he has argued for Islamic State Enforcers to return to the UK; he has supported Mauritius’s claim to the Chagos Islands and advised for reparations against the UK.
In other words he is viscerally anti British in his actions.
This is a key insight into what drives UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer as he would have been aware of all of these matters before selecting Harmer.
Although the day-to-day operations of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) are managed by the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Attorney General has oversight and can influence significant prosecution decisions, particularly in matters of national security or public interest. It in this regard that Lord Harmer is reputed to have urged the CPS to persecute Tommy Robinson last summer.
Hermer is Starmer’s legal punisher and the UK is his victim.
He needs dismissed from Office.
