I love the bit about Grayling denying that his ban on prisoners being sent books ever existed, despite the High Court having found that (a) it did, and (b) it was unlawful.

It is a popular misconception that Parliament and Government are dominated by lawyers. In reality, there are fewer lawyers in Parliament and Government than there used to be, back in the days when, allegedly, we were better governed than we are now. NB: correlation is not always causation. For example: in the 1979 election, just over ten percent of the MPs returned were barristers. The percentage in 2010 was just over six percent. The Cameron Cabinet is notable for how few lawyers in contains.
As for MPs and Ministers misbehaving, that is something that quite a few do, regardless of professional background.
