So
now we have had the decision of the “Supreme Court” on Boris Johnson’s
proroguing of Parliament. In which, on
very thin grounds, the Supreme Court has dismissed one of the key provisions in
our Constitution.
This
is Article 9 in the Bill of Rights which says as follows (the significant bits
of which I have underlined):-
“Bill of Rights1688 CHAPTER 2 1 William and Mary Session 2:-
".....That the Freedome of Speech and Debates or Proceedings in
Parlyament ought not to be impeached or questioned in any Court or Place
out of Parlyament...."
To
understand why the “Supreme Court” has ruled in this way it is necessary to
consider its purpose.
The
purpose behind the creation of both the Judicial Appointments Commission & Supreme
Court was to entrench Blairism into the UK’s Constitution.
The
members of the Supreme Court are of course also appointed by the Judicial
Appointments Commission which was specifically and openly set up by Tony Blair
and his friend Lord Irvine, his Lord Chancellor, to, as Lord Irvine, put it to
“ensure that nobody with Reactionary Views can be appointed or promoted” as a
Judge.
In
order to achieve this, the Judicial Appointments Commission has made it clear
that, in order to get appointed or promoted as a Judge, you must “demonstrate a
life time’s commitment to Equality and Diversity”. This of course means that every appointment is
likely to be of a Left-wing, Multiculturalist, Internationalist, Europhile.
It
was as part of this drive that the now Lord Justice Hickinbottom when he was
the “Judicial Lead for Diversity” gleefully told the solicitors Law Society
Gazette that he suggested “Creating a judicial career fast-track (to) help
improve diversity on the bench”
Ever
since 2004 the Judicial Appointments Commission has continued to appoint and to
promote wherever possible only those who are multi-culturalist activists.
The
effect of this can easily be seen if you look at the backgrounds of the eleven
Supreme Court “Justices”, as reported in The Slog, as follows:-
“Lady Brenda Hale (Chair) is a lifetime academic and former
Law Professor who went straight into being a Judge with no history in
commercial law at all. She is a feminist, a great believer in diversity, and a
lifelong liberal. I would be amazed if she voted any other way than Remain.
Lord Robert Reed (Deputy) is a Scot who also sits on the EU’s European Court of
Human Rights. He was an expert advisor to the EU/Council of Europe Joint
Initiative with Turkey. No prizes for guessing where Rabbie’s sympathies lie.
Lord Brian Kerr is the former Lord
Chief Justice of Northern Ireland, and the first Catholic ever appointed to
that post. In 2014, he had this to say in a lengthy
interview:
“The Law has changed enormously since the enactment of the Human
Rights Act. The central point about the Act is that it has given judges free
access to the rich vein of jurisprudence that is provided by the Strasbourg
Court…..we now have the ability to draw on jurisprudence from all over the
Council of Europe on matters that critically affect the balance of power
between the citizen and the state and I think that that can only be a good
thing.”
Draw your own conclusions.
Lord Nicholas Wilson is left of centre and on the record as saying, ““In pursuit of its
economic policy, the UK government has recently felt the need to dismantle much
of our welfare state, namely social security and the National Health
Service.” He is a passionate supporter of the ECHR in Strasbourg. The
activist site Divorce & the City is currently preparing to impeach Lord
Wilson for alleged corruption and ‘pro State’ bias. He is, reputedly, not a fan
of Boris Johnson or Brexit.
Lord Robert Carnwath is an unknown quantity who appears never to have expressed an
opinion about anything, except he sits on the advisory council of the English
School in Poland.
Lord Patrick Hodge is another Scot. He was a civil servant in the 1970s, and then
Counsel to the Department of Energy from 1989 to 1991, and to
the Inland Revenue from 1991 to 1996. Ergo, chummy with the unelected
State, 99.99% of whom are anti-Brexit. I’d imagine he’s also a wow at parties.
Lady Jill Black is unique in the Supreme Court in not having been to Oxbridge. You
can see from this just how inclusive the Court is, and thus totally in touch
with the average person.
Lord David Lloyd-Jones is another scholar who wound up a judge. He was
a Fellow of Downing College, Cambridge from 1975 to 1991.
From 1999 to 2005, he was a visiting professor at City University, London,
and was then put onto The Bench. He has always specialised in international
and EU law. Only two months ago, in a Supreme Court hearing involving Kuoni
Travel, Lloyd-Jones ruled that EU Law had primacy in the case. He gave the
judgement in Welsh, which was a first. Highly unlikely to have voted to leave a
Union in whose law he specialises, one could reasonably argue.
Lady Mary Arden became a member of the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague
in 2011, and sits as a judge of the European Court of Human Rights in
Strasbourg blah blah yawn etc. In 2015 she published a book about the impact of
the EU and the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg on the domestic law
of the UK. In his preface to the book, the Lord Chief Justice of England and
Wales noted:
Not a Leaver then, we suspect. This is all getting terribly predictable,
isn’t it?
Lord David Kitchin coxed the team that won the 1975 Boat Race for Cambridge. More
pertinently, he has for many years been a strong advocate of more harmonisation
of the Law between EU jurisdictions. In May this year, he gave an interview
offering the following opinion in relation to patent law, in which he is a
specialist:
“The situation is improving and that is because there is now much more
discussion and communication between judges in different countries. Judges now
meet regularly to discuss these and other difficult issues. We consider each
other’s judgments; all of us attach importance to the decisions of the
Technical Boards of Appeal and the Enlarged Boards of Appeal at the European
Patent Convention….there might not be jurisdiction to make references to the EU
Court of Justice in these cases, or any cases after Brexit.”
And so this would be a bad thing, wouldn’t i? Get real: Lord Kitchin is
a Good European who lectures about legal alignment in the EU.
Lord Philip Sales really is a case of leaving the best until last. Sales has had
something of a meteoric rise: he is the youngest of the Supreme Court judges,
and was a practising barrister at 11 King’s Bench Walk – according
to The Guardian ‘a network of old boys and cronies’ that
enabled him to be appointed First Counsel at the Treasury…a department of State
with a long and grubby history of undying support for the EU. The
recommendation that he be appointed came from Lord Irvine and
Tony Blair’s old chambers.
Philip Sales is New Labour through and through. In 2016, he was a member
of the Court of Appeal which ruled that 130,000 Labour members who
joined the party after 12 January 2016 would not be able to vote in the
leadership contest. This overruled the previous High Court decision to allow
the 130,000 disenfranchised Labour Party members to vote in the 2016 Labour
Party leadership election. In short, it was a bid by the Blairites to keep
Corbyn out.
Finally, he was one of the three judges forming the High Court in
proceedings concerning the use of the royal prerogative for the issue of
notification in accordance with Article 50 of the Treaty on European
Union, R (Miller) v Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union. His
role in this judgment meant that he appeared in an infamous front-cover of
the Daily Mail – Enemies of the People – as
a solid-gold Remainer.”

It
is also being said that many of the 11 “Justices” are in receipt of salaries
from the EU. If true then this is a very
serious scandal!
I
have noticed that Jacob Rees-Mogg and other Conservatives are grumbling about
the decision of the Supreme Court, but they have only their own Party to blame!
It's
no use Conservative MPs now complaining about the same europhile
multiculturalists whom their Party had appointed to the Supreme Court making
Europhile Multiculturalist decisions.
The
Conservatives have had nearly 10 years in power to change the Judicial
Appointments system but they have chosen not to do so!
Robin, thank you for your continued good work. Question: If Lord David LLoyd-Jones has previously ruled that EU has supremacy over UK Law - how does that stack up re The Benn Act versus (EU) Extension to Oct 31? Can the PM ignore the Benn Act?
ReplyDeleteAs Blair is possibly the most corrupt politician we have ever had, could we expect the Supreme court to be for our benefit, I decided no on the day, but was slightly surprised at the unanimous result.
ReplyDeleteFour of the 13 Commissioners of the JAC are from the Indian Subcontinent, including the Chairman, a Hindu surgeon appointed by Treason May, reappointed by Boris, given a peerage by Gordon Brown, appointed Chairman of the House of Lords Appointments Commission by Cameron, and a member of the Privy Council. How bizarre that one-third of the Judicial Commissioners for Great Britain are from the Indian Subcontinent. Why?
ReplyDeleteExactly

ReplyDeleteWe must dismantle the Supreme Court they are a phoney bunch of Europhiles - they will ruin our country as we know it. Bring back the treason law ( that Blair abolished) and charge him with it, he should be in prison, he hates our country.
ReplyDeleteI agree this needs to stop we need to sack the judges of the supreme Court and bring in none EU lovers and be impartial
Deletewhiteruud: "Bring back the treason law ( that Blair abolished) and charge him with it, "
DeleteNo need for all that. Just exile Blair, Campbel et al, and drop them in the middle of Tripoli, sans police personal detail. Let the devil eat his own.
Both Gina Miller cases help Brexit because they both say parliament is sovereign, thereby the EU can not nor ever could be sovereign over the UK. Sovereign is sovereign, parliament has no sovereignty to take away the sovereignty of parliament, and neither does the UK government. All powers given to the EU are de facto, null and void. MPs despite the Bill of rights can be impeached for "treason, felony and breach of the peace", and all Acts or parliament are subject to the common law, as the "case of proclamations 1611", cited by the supreme court clearly stipulates. Its all a win for Brexit and our freedom.
