lol steed. Surely the title of this tread distorts things here.

You claim this is a Liberal Judge making a stupid decision, maybe he is a competant judge constrained by a flawed law!? Judges in the UK don't have the ability to play politics in the way their counterparts do in other countries. Judges are expected to read Jurisprudence Black Letter (as they call it in Law).

And would you honestly have it any other way. Would you really give a judge the power to disreagard the law on their own personal whim?

PS. For the record, the problem does not lie with Human Rights Legisalation like its suggested in the article.
