So you explain. Where am I wrong? I read the biographies and thought that there were quite a few indications of likely political bias. You read them and thought there was no indication of any. That's not to say you are definitely wrong - but that is where we differ. As for political bias. Firstly, the way that they were selected from the Lords and the way they were set up. It was all political at the time - supposed to be a way to not let the Lords have any actual power. Hilariously enough though, perhaps without knowing, an even more select bunch than the Lords have a greater say than the Lords did. Aren't some of them even judges that worked in EU courts? And then there are plenty of other factors in the make up of the judges that lead me to believe that there are several there who would not support Brexit. However, perhaps they have just done what they see as right and proper. People are well within their rights to want this examined and by no means it is an entirely invalid argument that the court has political bias. That cannot be countered by constant reminding of their apparent independence and impartiality - these are just opposing views that many may have. Red and Blue Army!

That's not to say you are definitely wrong - but that is where we differ. Please identify these for me and explain where the bias arises. As for political bias. Firstly, the way that they were selected from the Lords and the way they were set up. It was all political at the time - supposed to be a way to not let the Lords have any actual power. Hilariously enough though, perhaps without knowing, an even more select bunch than the Lords have a greater say than the Lords did. As the Law Lords were selected in exactly the same way I have no idea what you mean. The only substantive difference seems to me that they can no longer take part in debates or vote so are now even less political then before. Aren't some of them even judges that worked in EU courts? And then there are plenty of other factors in the make up of the judges that lead me to believe that there are several there who would not support Brexit. However, perhaps they have just done what they see as right and proper. People are well within their rights to want this examined and by no means it is an entirely invalid argument that the court has political bias. That cannot be countered by constant reminding of their apparent independence and impartiality - these are just opposing views that many may have. Lady Arden and Lord Reed are "ad hoc" judges for the European Court of Human rights, being called upon to adjudicate when required. The UK providing such support as one of the 28 is very sensible. That's 2 from 12 who have even the slightest connection, which is hardly surprising given we are actually members! "Other matters" is just empty blather. If there is any evidence then identify it. Otherwise it is what I say it is. Conspiracy theory. For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Originally posted by Wisbech Eagle It's not a conspiracy theory to research into the background of the judges and see pertinent reasons for political bias. You are acting as if everything in this world is simply black and white. It isn't - I would have thought you might realise that sometimes there is more than meets the eye. It doesn't have to be a conspiracy theory. Two are current EU judges - by your own admission. When Brexit happens out of a job. Not much of a stretch. A new one is Scottish and was a supporter of independence. Are they likely to have a political bias? Some are former EU judges - would they have anything to lose? Some are former Labour peers. As already stated, these are mainly the law lords with a different name. Hardly impartial. Only ten years ago half were party affiliated. Red and Blue Army!

Ironic that boris might go to te supreme court to check the legality or correctness of the instruction to force him to ask for an extension. Let's see if the judges uphold it or find it ok. Maybe this will be a surprise result. A bit like brexit. I think I know what will happen.
