Everythings had to stop here as I have to go around picking people off the floor as they fall about laughing at the BBC’s Breaking News….May says we must respect the independence of the Judiciary. Well yes. That’s if they’re independent of course. No one says we shouldn’t.
Just a standard ‘diplomatic’ statement from a Prime Minister and yet major news for the BBC…oh hang on…..she respects their opinion so much she is disregarding it and is going to appeal to a higher court.
The BBC is curiously incurious here…failing to scramble, as they always normally do, the researchers to dig out past statements by May that contradict her latest stance such as this BBC headline from 2013…
Theresa May criticises judges for ‘ignoring’ deportation law
Home Secretary Theresa May has accused judges of making the UK more dangerous by ignoring rules aimed at deporting more foreign criminals.
The BBC itself actually had a programme dedicated to fighting alleged injustice in the legal system…..called Rough Justice…
“Rough Justice” was a ground-breaking BBC TV series in the early eighties. It produced evidence that innocent people were being imprisoned. It helped pressure the government into forming the Criminal Case Review Commission.
How different today when the BBC claims the judges are infallible.
The BBC wants to create the impression that this is a really important statement from May and that it signifies that the critics of the judgement are wrong and are recklessly and dangerously undermining the legal system and society…and therefore they, the Press and Brexiteers, must be silenced…which is what this is all about really…the BBC and the Left once again trying to silence opponents not with arguments but with resort to false claims of the moral high ground and sanctimonious grandstanding by corrupt politicians and left-wing journalists.
Let’s be blunt, the court came to the wrong decision, one made as if the vote in Parliament, 6 to 1 in favour, that enabled the referendum to go ahead had never happened…the referendum that was explicitly about leaving or staying in the EU and only that…there were no conditions or qualifications. That vote gives May the authority to trigger Article 50 to start the process to leave the EU.
Were the judges ‘independent’? Did they have pro-EU views that swayed their decision? Let’s be clear again…this was purely, as is any judgement, a view, an opinion on what the law says. Hence another court can come along and make a different ruling.
The BBC and the Remainers seem to think that the judgement is based upon some natural law, a law of physics that is immutable and unquestionable….wrong…it’s purely legal opinion.
This is of course the BBC that never accepts court judgements itself or respects the authority of those placed in positions of trust who have to make similar decisions in inquiries such as Hutton or Butler….the BBC mocks and vilifies both these men for coming to the ‘wrong’ decision…one that doesn’t suit the BBC’s own narrative on Iraq.
