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.

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

That's like Alex Ferguson refereeing Man Utd matches.

my dad said to me that if someone told you the funniest joke ever, you would laugh out loud. But if you ever saw an old lady fall down an open manhole, you would split your sides and cry laughing

Oi, who rang the bloody doorbell!!!!

True, it just seems to be human nature to take joy in other peoples misfortune. At lest judging by the avearge CUK thread.
