Justice used to be independent of government, but the new Supreme Court is a government department.

Good scare factor, but complete and utter tosh. The whole reform was centered around taking legislative powers away from the judiciary in so much as their ability to vote in the House of Lords afforded them potential power to vote on legislation they would then have to adjudicate on which could then lead onto possible claims against the UK in Europe for an unfair trial, etc, etc, blah, blah, blah.

Then again, they could just refuse permission to appeal any decisions they make to the European Courts, thus circumventing any such issues. It worked against the OFT after all.
