    The higher up the chain you go the more dishonesty and corruption one tends to find. Those at the top of the pile usually manage to sniff out the gravy train and make sure they're on it. Those lower down will continue to be fu5ked over and treated with contempt. That's only my opinion but I'm sure many others will be of the same.

    This doesn't appear to have anything to do with the rest of the thread.

    Ah. So it doesn't.

    Nice to see something a bit different, rather than beating to death a topic that everyone has arguments for, but nobody appears to have answers to.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Bringing it back on topic, because I think it is an important topic. Not just the remain/leave issue, but what has arisen since June 23. And this court case and the reaction to it is important, and as it only happened yesterday it's hard to believe that it really has been "beaten to death" although it seems the judges involved are now being threatened with just that.

    This article, written by a barrister, is worth reading. Interestingly after the suggestions yesterday that the judges were somehow pressured into their decision it talks about how the reaction in the press today seems to be seeking to do precisely that.

    " A starker, more blatant attack on judicial independence is hard to conceive. It is one thing to criticise judicial decisions. Or to draw attention to judges where they fall into error. But when the legislature and executive join forces with the media to launch rocket after rocket of personal, unwarranted abuse that is intended not to criticise or inform, but to demean, undermine, unnerve, terrify and intimidate independent judges who cannot answer back, we have a genuine constitutional crisis. The separation of powers is not just breached but scorched to the ground."

    This is a really good piece of writing. It's short, punchy, and tells you all you need to know about our morally impoverished lightweight political class. The irony is overwhelming: the baying mob who are demanding the Judges' heads on spikes are part of a "Leave" movement that is desperate to restore a Britain they can feel proud of. But the very thing they can, and should, feel most proud of about this country is the integrity and inherent fairness of its constitution - the Separation of Powers, the Rule of Law, the very fact that we have judges who are free and fearless enough to apply the law of Parliament and precedent. Those people would do well to read this article and learn something about what national pride really means. Of course, most of them won't.

    This suggests that someone in the EU compliance department has a pretty slick sense of humour..

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
