Quoting the BBC article titled 2015-03-17 Judges sacked for watching porn :



Like the BBC, I was using the word "sacked" to mean "being removed from office".

This means that they will all be able to participate in any new paedophile enquiries. There's lucky.

I think you are confusing being sacked as judges with losing their posts. These three normal, hot-blooded, blokes are still judges they just don't have anywhere to do their judging.

Quoting the BBC article titled 2015-03-17 Judges sacked for watching porn :

District Judge Timothy Bowles, Immigration Judge Warren Grant and Deputy District Judge and Recorder Peter Bullock have been removed from office.

Like a MOO clause? There are contractor judges? I could do that, I even have a black hanky to wear for sentencing miscreants.

This peremptory sacking doesn't sound constitutional, and sets a bad precedent.

I thought a judge could be sacked only after being "named" in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, which involves votes.

Before you know it, judges will be sacked or demoted for merely expressing skepticism or criticism of trendy political dogmas, and the so-called independence of the judiciary will become simply empty words.

Have they done The Good, The Bad and The Goatse ?

Given the new draconian pron laws, wtf had they managed to find that was a) pron and b) not illegal?

not been the same since they outlawed that classic 'A Fistful of hookers' or 'for a few holes more'

(surprisingly enough there aren't porn films called this maybe I have launched a new Genre Spaghetti porn)

or any other illegal content

The spokesman added that the Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Justice were "satisfied that the material did not include images of children or any other illegal content".

I'll bet they were. I hope they weren't watching the evidence together.

I thought judges would be too busy with underage rent boys to be looking at pornography at work
