Baroness Scotland: Resign now

Baroness Scotland was fined £5000 today for admitting that she allowed an illegal immigrant to work for her and failed to photocopy a letter stating she had the right to work.

The fact that she broke the law and amazingly had put this particular law through the lords shows that she should resign. In his usual cowardice, Gordon Brown has not fired her and said that she unwittingly broke the law. Excuse me, the law really doesn't care whether you broke the law unwittingly or did it on purpose. Ask someone arrested for doing 20 mph above the speed limit, doing it unwittingly didn't stop them getting points on their licence and a fine.

No, she should resign. If forgetting to photocopy a letter is good enough for a £5000 fine, then the Attorney General should be good enough to remember it!

Squiffy.
