Even the tribunals of the French Revolution spared 2% of the aristocrats who were dragged in front of them for mob justice, allowing that paltry percentage to escape the sanguine strictures of Madame Guillotine. Here are your 2%, in the persons of the Earl Marshal and the Lord Great Chamberlain. Yet on present showing, the Government are, in percentage terms, if clearly not in the nature of the punishment, going to be even more inflexible and ideological than the Jacobins.
