These progressive liberal judges will be the death of UK. They will someday learn to regret their decisions when harm comes to a family member or friend. If Britain doesn’t turn around their immigration policies soon, it will be too late if not already past. A country can only submit to this lunacy for so long before the immigrants take over completely or the British people stand up and revolt.

Do these judges ever order that anyone be deported?

While the cases described certainly appear to demonstrate egregious bias rather than objective assessment, it would be helpful to know if they are outliers (in which case we might assume there is more to them than the headlines suggest) or typical.

I would be reassured if I learned that these cases are 1% of those coming before these particular judges, with 99% cleared for immediate extradition. I suspect I won’t be reassured but we need some overall context.

It is hard to believe that these judges and lawyers passed their exams. It sure isn’t impartial, famous British Justice. It is more like the kind of injustice that exists where these illegal refugees come from.

What an odd-looking assemblage of ‘judges’. Perhaps bullying at school brought them to their evil treachery.

as an aside and off topic be sure to check out and read carefully a petition on the uk government and parliament petition page....call an immediate general election....it currently has 877,290,, signatures it urgently needs many more and YOU can help in getting them first be sure to sign it and most importantly be sure to reshare it widely all over the uk england/wales/northern ireland/ scotland/... with as many like minded people as you possibly can and be sure to ask each one of them to do exactly the same as im asking you to do

On one level it's hardly surprising that part-time judges spend the rest of their time practicing in their field of expertise. I am currently involved in litigation over a piece of land and my solicitor has instructed a barrister who sits part-time as a Land Tribunal judge. I'm pleased about that. The Tribunals are by nature specialist fora and it would be crazy to appoint a tax barrister to sit as a judge in the Employment Tribunal.

However, the Immigration and Asylum Tribunal is politically charged because, unlike the Land Tribunal for example, the cases are not between two parties of equal status. One party is always the Government and all cases are seeking an outcome in one direction - no-one ever appears at the Tribunal seeking permission to leave the country.

In these circumstances, the JAC and judicial conduct authorities must be highly alert to potential problems. I would suggest any judge who allows over, say, 30% of appeals should be subject to official scrutiny.

We need to go back to the Lord Chancellor who once picked ked the judges. But along came Blair and changed all that. Why to help illegal migrants and human rights lawyers. Remember his wife.

Mr. Brief, are we ro take it from your "surname" that you are a qualified lawyer? I have my suspicions the answer is no, but you want to sneak in the implication without breaking the law.

No Peregrinus I'm not. Not sure how "Starky" hints that I'm a lawyer and not sure where your assumption that I want to pose as one comes from either.

My bio is pretty clear. It reads former political strategist, part-time citizen journalist.

No, retard, lawyers here in the UK are universally known as “briefs.” From the coppers to the man in the street. You know that and you wish to steal some education & gravitas while trying to get some mad person to attack a Tribunal judge. You’re evil & retarded, and not in a good way.

It has multiple meanings including a concise summary of something. You have absolutely no evidence for my intentions, so let's not waste time with your subjective interpretations.

And to be clear, I in no way want any judge to be violently attacked.

Criticism doesn't equal incitement.

One might say it's a bit retarded to think it does.
