AN ARROGANT JUDGE

The proposal by Mr Justice Moses to do away with trial by jury is a sinister attempt by this unelected group of people to further erode our rights and protections.
These arrogant people are even now above the law.
They can over rule government opinion in matters of law.

Sounds reasonable you may think, but they do not in a democratic society make the law. Their job is to interpret it as closely as possible to its intended aims. They are not elected but now they seem to want to be a power unto themselves.
Yes we need an independent judiciary to protect us against an ever more powerful state, but that does not mean that they should themselves become an unelected dictatorship.

The complaint is that juries often come to the wrong verdict, and it is true they do.
But judges often in their summing up also make mistakes.
Judges, unlike other professional people can not be sued for their mistakes. You never hear a judge paying damages for a faulty summing up.
They are just as fallible as any body else.

So what is our protection from the arbitrary dictatorship of the State and the possible corrupt and compromised judges who after all are subject to human frailties and weaknesses like the rest of us?

Yes. The right to be tried by twelve of your fellow men. The last bastion of democracy.
If we are to lose that we will become enslaved by the State and the judiciary. Juries are our last and ONLY protection.

The argument that the wrong verdict does not wash. Far better a guilty man get off than an innocent man be convicted.

If the cost of trial by jury is too great, cut the pay of the barristers and judges and their closed shop and maybe install elected "people's judges".
The proportion of court costs paid to the present overpaid "elite" far outweighs the costs of jury members.

Our freedom demands that trial by jury remains.

THE QUEEN DEMEANS HERSELF

It made me want to throw up.
The Queen visiting Dubai or some other sand blown flea pit was pictured wearing medieval type garb, with her legs covered and a strange covering over her hat.
I have never seen her dress like this.
It is no doubt to conform with the "sensibilities" of her muslim hosts.

She is our QUEEN for Christ sake. Why should she demean herself to appease "muslim sensibilities"

Ugly muslim men and their shrouded women wear their primitive clothing in our country.
No effort to conform to our customs by them so why should the Queen conform to theirs.

I was formerly a monarchist, believing that institution, illogical as it is, united our nation and protected us from possible disasters such as President Blair, or any other grasping selfish liar.
The Queen embodied the country and its people more than any person politician. She is supposed to be above the dirty tricks of political life and an anchor to our past.

So why has she been prevailed upon to degrade herself in this way? Also in recent years she has signed away many of our rights to the EU.

I believe the function of the monarch is to protect her people, not in a political but a national way.

That she has signed away our rights and her powers makes me angry and her kow towing to these medieval desert Arabs is beginning to make me doubt the use of the very institution of monarchy.

If the Queen is not able to be herself abroad what chance have we?

If she wants the monarchy to survive she should uphold the British way of life and customs and bow to NO foreigner.
If she stands tall in the face of all the PC nonsense which surrounds her she would have the gratitude of all true Brits.

Please Ma'am. Start acting like OUR QUEEN and save us for now, that is until your idiotic son takes over.
