It is unconstitutional to make an exception of law based on TV popularity. Were the exception to be made, it would be a clear case of press-ganging Gov. through TV fame and glamour. It would have disastrous consequences, as the Law in our Country is based on precedent, meaning that once an exception like this were made, it would become valid, in theory, in millions and even tens of millions of cases in years to come, for any person, not just anyone seekinf TV fame!
We already had a case of populist TV press-ganging of the Law when an actress decided to promote a change in the Armed Forces regulations regarding Gurkas. The outcome was that, once all is counted, a Gurka soldier becomes, on average, a lot more expensive to employ in the British Army than a British soldier! It so happened that in the meantime Gov. started to cut back drastically on pubblic spending, and now even the Police Force has announced it must reduce its numbers, and that when the Tories were promissing to increase Police security in our Country during the Election campaign! So many people being laid redundant, or about to be laid redundant, and Dover's District Council making plans to cut local spending by 40% over the next five years, and Councils all over the Country in the same situation, and here we have TV glammour acting as if we were all roling in money! Well, would the TV ask Gov. to reconsider sending many of our people into redundancy?
If they showed a young British woman whose husband was about to be made redundant due to spending cuts, and made a compassionate case, may-be the public oppinion would be moved to ask for an exception, but then hundreds of thousands of other British people facing the axe would ask to be included in that exception.
Populist press-ganging to make the Law unequal can be dangerous!
