Fair enough, whistleblowers should remain as such, that’s the whole point.
Completely see his POV. He won’t get jail or convicted, this is just hot air.
Mercer’s a jingoistic twat, but it’s hard not to take his side here.
gotta be honest from that headline/thread title I was expecting him to not be doing what he’s actually doing. good. protect whistleblowers/sources. if you give an inch, they will take a mile in letting anyone have a voice outside of power structures.
Huh, a Tory minister with morals.
When that happens they usually force them out, don’t they?
Good for him. Like him or loathe him. Protect whistle blowers.
They can compel and answer, but I doubt that will Go down well. I would say he’s doing the right thing here, especially not naming people publicly.
