*Repeats plea ad infinitum for @barstandards to be permitted to prioritise the regulatory objective of protecting and promoting the public interest.*
I make this point, as always I do, in the context of a political opponent being threatened with @barstandards referral for words or actions of theirs I find reprehensible but the principal control mechanism for which rests elsewhere in the law.*
The fact of @barstandards being asked to enter the political sphere can carry an implied criticism should it fail then to do so. That criticism can weaken its ability to perform the regulatory function which only it can perform of protecting against bad barristering.
*Fair to say I also speak as a man who has probably been the subject of a thousand complaints but none (I think) about my professional conduct, none upheld and only one put to me for comment.
