Yes, now that Reuben Abati, Jonathan’s erstwhile Media Adviser, is on the menu, again, maybe we should do some reminiscing on a familiar recipe -the Abati attention-seeking industry. Shortly after his Principal left office,

The Right Honourable Lord Denning devotes a substantial portion of his book What Next In The Law, to discuss how the English justice system faired in the hands of some of the great judicial reformers of British antiquity.
