You would have to ask a government that prorogued for a year, the reasons for it.

It's all very well saying it's interpretation. Geoffrey Cox has been admitting this is a case of making law on TV now, which apparently the judges are permitted to do.

You're getting into Khandro territory there, Togo. i.e. picking a biased nes source to support a (very) skewed view of the situation.

'You would have to ask a government that prorogued for a year, the reasons for it.'

But surely you wouldn't be happy living in a so called democracy which could do that, OG?

[THECORBYLOON]

TOGO, following the decision of the Inner House, on 12.9.19 you wrote it was "easily argued to be untrue that the judiciary [is] corrupt and biased"

To-day you you wrote, "The confidence that we all held in Judges, to be impartial and make decisions not based on personal preferences has been proven to be misguided. We always suspected [Judges were not impartial] but for the sake of not undermining the widespread belief that it was so, never voiced our intuitive feeling too strongly."

At what point, prior to the Court decisions, did you or others sharing your opinion, even hint the decisions would go against the Government because the Justices were partial?

Zacs //You're getting into Khandro territory there, Togo. i.e. picking a biased nes source to support a (very) skewed view of the situation//

I ask you again for the umpteenth time; will you please recommend for we who are being led astray, the unbiased source of news which you depend on for complete probity?

[Zacs-Master]

How about putting things in your own words, rather than links to inherently biased websites and silly links to tabloid youtube videos?

[Zacs-Master]

Khandro, I find it extremely difficult these days to find a news source which isn't balanced. What i try to do is look at the arguments being reported from a number of sources and then come to my own conclusion. You should try it some time!

[Zacs-Master]

Sorry 'which IS balanced'

[Togo]

You don't actually read anything with a degree of insight do you TCL so I will re-post it again for your benefit.

The confidence that we all held in Judges, to be impartial and make decisions not based on personal preferences has been proven to be misguided. We always suspected Judges were not impartial, but for the sake of not undermining the widespread belief that it was so, never voiced our intuitive feeling too strongly.

[Khandro]

Well, as you seem to be an arbiter of news gathering & readily dismissive of any source which differs from your own point of view, please give us a hint of at least one which is the least unbiased you look to for your information.

TOGO when did you express an opinion that, "We always suspected Judges were not impartial" prior to the Courts' decisions?

[jim360]

There's something faintly ridiculous about including, in a rant about why the judgement went against the Government with "Lord so-and-so is a Scot."

Togo's comments have been utterly repudiated, multiple times, by Cox QC MP at the despatch box, and are utterly out of step with any sensible commentators' opinion. They are the last resort of people who have lost the legal argument.

[Zacs-Master]

I really don't have a regular one, Khandro. I find the BBC to be reasonable on certain topics, the independent on others but i try to take the subject and find out what i can.

[THECORBYLOON]

As the Supreme Court gives decisions on appeals against decisions made under Scots, Ulster and English legal systems, surely it makes sense to have Justices from those jurisdictions when appropriate, as in this instance?

[Togo]

I have been watching Cox's brilliant performance in the House Jim.......More to the point I am able to understand the nuances and read between the lines of what is being said out loud, and what is being alluded to. When you are perhaps a little older and wiser perhaps you will develop similar abilities....it takes time of course. Cox has far from "utterly repudiated, multiple times" my comments regarding the biased ruling.....He has of course gone on record multiple times to feign respect and agreement with the "correctness"of the travesty. He is a lawyer and knows how to tell an untruth, truthfully. The meat in his replies are the warnings of the ramifications of the new law that has been conjured up, and the steps that will need to be taken to ensure such "legal" manipulations can never take place again.

[Zacs-Master]

There is no new law.
