Stupid PQ from a below average MP.
These people are unbelievably ridiculous wasting parliamentary time with this sort of nonsense. The rules of protocol determine who is invited where. Why would magistrates be invited to a state banquet?
On state occasions, the Chief Justice is there to represent the entire judiciary, same way as the Brigadier represents the Army and the Archbishop represents the Church.
And in any case, the presence of certain magistrates would hardly lend honour to the occasion.
One would expect Jose Herrera to at least know that much.
Possibly she could be part of the ‘plate of tarts’ for all to enjoy with their drinks.
