Must ex Chief Justice of Supreme Court quit over Freedom of Expression Ruling? Lawyers say: "Yes!" 

"When tyranny becomes law - resistance becomes duty" Thomas Jefferson.

He shouldn’t be allowed to resign - he should be dismissed.

Politics has no place in administrating The Law.

This only reinforces my total lack of respect for the judicial system, and just about everything else.

No one should ever be jailed for peaceful protest. This clown of a judge who is jailing onlookers is a disgrace.

When judges start to do what they are told (even though they may disagree with what they are told to do) instead of what the law says it is time for them to retire

Where are all the bloody human rights lawyers??

permission to protest is surely an oxymoron?

Another reason as to why I no longer trust the justice system.

If there was any justice, Blaire and Campbell would be behind bars.

When our courts are at their limits, we can outsource the show trials to Hong Kong, and rent prison space in Siberia.

Watching your Judges demonstrate complete distain and contempt for those brought before them, was sickening. Making up law and sentencing based on a perfect hatred for those 'below or beneath them'. Months in confinement for 'anti-establishment' thoughts and communicating those thoughts is tyranny.

I have noticed that Human rights have not been invoked in any of these recent cases.................

Informing the authorities for a march is only mandatory for the majority group! Minority groups appear to be exempt!

Parliament and the Judiciary should be separate and independent not in bed with each other. Further there should be criminal offences made to keep them apart.

The right to protest is inviolable by any law, and does not depend upon the permission of any power. All that remains is the quality of the response.

The Judges should be in the Dock!

Section 5 of the public order act speaks of threatening , abusive or insulting words and behaviour . Such a law is always open to opinion and should be applied using common sense taking into account freedom of speech and the rights of an individual to peacefully state his or hers opinion in a free democratic society . Has something changed in our country ?

It's always the way when it comes to free speech. People are happy to dismantle it when it comes to suppressing those opinions they don't like, and very unhappy when the same law is used to suppress their own opinions. It puts me in mind of the famous scene in 'A Man for All Seasons': "I'd cut down all the laws of England to get at the Devil." "And when the Devil turns round to face you, where will you hide, the laws being all flat? ... I would give the Devil the benefit of law, for my own safety's sake."

Thrown in prison for taking part in a peaceful protest, good job that doesn't happen in the UK. Oh, wait..

It is only a matter of time before those in the judiciary are called to account for their judgements in the same way that the Post Office management have!

His Lordship’s reputation was trashed at the Post Office enquiry. And due to special treatment, he didn’t even have to give evidence.

I'm always shocked when I find out that judges can basically make up the law as they go along and can basically come to any conclusion they like in any context based on their own prejudice.

'More politics than law'. 100%.. The legal profession has decided to be lapdogs to politicians and will eventually pay the price.

There are a large number of senior judges in the uk that are rather compromised with regards to traditional British values on freedom.

It will rebound eventually on Keir and these judges

If the courts are so quick to sentence why could they not do a quick test appeal and on to the Supreme Court, to see if a prime minster is allowed to do what he has done.

As ever, it all boils down to Blair. Usually ONE criminal justice bill is passed every TEN years. Blair passed FIFTY (that's 500 years worth) all unscrutinised. It is actually technically impossible to be law abiding in the UK and Blair's gift to his beloved legal chums is that THEY-rather than an elected accountable government-can make up the law ;everything is up for a judicial review as Blair has left a trail of ambiguous laws-more muddied by the ECHR which he enshrined in the UK . Going out with your 5 and 6 year old kids/grand kids? Buy them some chips ? A seagull attacks! You swat the bird away! GUESS WHAT???!!! You've committed a CRIME under Blairs countryside criminal justice bill and the Lawyers are celebrating ££££££ Why ? Found guilty JUDICIAL REVIEW!!!! (££££) Surely you are entitled to defend your kids/ Found not guilty ? JUDICIAL REVIEW!!!!(££££) The law clearly states this is a crime! History will totally damn Blair and the VAST damage he's done. The pity is he will escape his deeds during his lifetime.

"THE PARTY TOLD YOU TO REJECT THE EVIDENCE OF YOUR EYES AND EARS. IT WAS THEIR FINAL AND MOST ESSENTIAL COMMAND" George Orwell - 1984

Sounds to me that he is incapable if making reasoned judgments for whatever reason. Sack him its dangerous to have judges like this..and those you mentioned in county courts who ignore vertical and horizontal stare decisis.

Copying the Americans by renaming our top court the Supreme Court could have been the beginning of the end for Britain’s self esteem.

Love that he’s doing this without a Teleprompter. Those are always the best videos.

How can you have a free society where you can theoretically have your political opponents thrown in jail because a political speech or debate answer they don't like offended them?

Starmer has crossed the line as have the judiciary. They are giving custodial sentences where they have stated no crime has been committed but Starmer has said they must be sent aced for being there. Overreach in the extreme and we need a legal challenge, where are all the lawyers waiting to take this on and make a name for themselves.

The Chinese providing free internet joke was subtle to the point I almost missed it.

Is this an early morning Legal Ramble ramble?! Thanks as ever Alan! Sherlock Holmes is proud of You for shining your legal light 🌞 #JusticeForJessKaur

I need to get out of Birmingham. Waste in my life in this dump of a city.

Love these stories 👍

We have the best justice system in the world if you can afford it.

This Labour Government will Fall and a General Election be called. There is no other way out of this total mess. This needs to happen and soon.

Why are so many many people talking about the state of our Country and nobody changing the landscape. We have so much to be thankful for, our scenery, our culture, our inclusive humanity and we are letting that rush downhill and NObody seems to be capable of halting our decline. How far will it go before someone , somewhere brings this madness to an end.

You can jail offenders but that won't change the opinion of a large proportion of the population.

British lawyers should be protesting in the UK. Why aren't they?

Thank you very much Al.

Does the right to protest come under Freedom of Expression? What about peacefully attending protests where a small minority become verbally abusive to the police?...do the peaceful protesters have protection in law or are they guilty by association? As in the recent televised court proceedings on the anti illegal immigration protests. One further point....does the broadcasting of the judge's reasoning after the incident provide adequate justification for his sentencing, that all those present were guilty, even though innocent bystanders would definitely not have been aware of the possibility of this ruling?

The right to protest should be something that all sides agree on, because sooner or later, you will be on the bottom and you want to protest what you think is wrong. Not supporting that is stupid and short sighted.

The courts will be debating how many angels can dance on a pin-head next. Meanwhile clear cut offences - the grooming atrocities continue to be held up in the back log.

Yes. Fire him. Impartiality has been taken away from judges.

Very interesting as always and lovely view of Mawgan Porth!!!

Thank you for this interesting piece, much appreciated

What an interesting discussion! It does undermine my faith in the legal system though, for it seems that the law can be pulled either way and justice isn’t always served. Lovely walk in North Cornwall. 😃👍

Great video! Thank you!

I love these videos. I often form an opinion on something without realizing the counterpoints that have been thrashed out in the past and sometimes seemingly unreasonable decisions suddenly make a lot more sense

Beautiful part of the world.! A feast for the eyes and the mind x

How can the English riot victims jailed recently appeal their sentences? They have had an unfair trial in both being convicted as an example and having it done so quickly. Not giving them time to submit an affidavit or other evidence.

Beautiful views!

I believed in the judiciary, however since KS has stemmed the freedom of expression and instructed all the English judges to disproportionately punish U.K. residents for making comment. I now know the judiciary are no longer reliably independent from the government.

When freedom needs to be written in law it is not freedom. Me.

Love your videos. Thank you for such an enjoyable legal ramble!!!

One of my friends from Uni was from HK, he was relay not happy with the new management. Talking to him just pushed my views to be bias of not liking the new HK gov, over the years he told me how things got harder.

Wow, fabulous views thanks for the walk really enjoyed it. This subject is new to me. However, if the other judges have quit, for what they believe is good reason, then I go with this. Overall, I don’t like what he is doing and would vote ‘yes’ to quit. Listening to this, reminds me of ‘Wild Swans’ - good autobiographical book, three generations of Chinese women living through the revolution. Once read, never forgotten.

Yesterday I joined the Free Speech Union, if anyone believes in Free Speech and can afford to join i think they should seriously consider supporting the Free Speech Union. I never thought I'd need to do this but this government is oppressive.

Its called LAWFARE 😮

I seem to recall Neuberger and Grabiner featured in the post office enquiry, having previously given advice to the Post Office

Most amazing thing about this is how steady and level the camera is on the end of a stick.

I agree that people should have a right to protest, but should not impose that right on people by damaging art works, blocking roads and generally becoming a nuisance to people just trying to go about their daily lives. If your argument is valid and you present it well, people will agree and change can happen by peaceful means, but if you decide that the only way to get anyone to look at your argument is to break the law, then your argument is clearly too weak to gain any meaningful following. We live in a democracy and so the minority cannot force the majority to follow their beliefs just because they destroy art, block roads and smash windows. We all have a say in the running of this country and no one should have the right to make peoples' lives miserable, that's what politicians are for, so leave it to the professionals and chill out. Just my 2p worth. Have a nice day to everyone, Joe

Thanks

Loverly place, loverly chat with no boats in the background🎉

"I don't know why people are always badmouthing the Chinese Government. They gave me an app on my phone that gave me free internet..." You cannot be this naïve. Please tell me you cannot be this naïve.

With out question. If we cannot Express our fears as indiginous people against the establishment then questions need to be asked. The same questions that need to be asked on how Starlin Starmer got SC clearance by GCHC.

Just because you don’t like what I'm saying that doesn't mean I'm wrong.

Every single institution in the UK is broken. Post office, policing, immigration, NHS, education, justice system, politicians, religion, BBC, housing, railways, roads, employment. Prison sentences for tweets? Harsh fines maybe, but prison sentences because two tier Keir demands it? How on earth has it come to this?

Soon UK citizens will be able to seek refuge in a better more developed country that is safe.

Look up judges losing Judicial Immunity for inferior courts in Australia. High Court Case Judge Vasta.

"...we don't have any planes for them", except for the 40 aircraft, each.

Northern Ireland Abortion Services was an exclusion to the right to protest to protect other rights. It shouldn't be used to generally suppress protest. The whole point of protest is that it is disruptive and inconveniences others, that's why it's protected. The only reasons for limiting it are firstly if other offences are committed in the act of protest and even then courts should be the aebiters in each case, or secendly if the protest directly harms other's rights, typically privacy, conscience, and speech.

That was so very interesting and the scenery sublime. Thank you for taking us along on your walk.You are very knowledgeable and make topics very easy to follow. ❤😂 🇦🇺

You would be surprised how many solicitors abandon your case because they don't want to do the work for you to actually defend you properly. I was on legal aid at one point and i had to get a judge to transfer counsel as my solicitor screwed up i had to get my original counsel that moved firms back. Solicitors can and do throw cases if they don't want to work with disabled people out of spite. It happened to me. I love my current solicitors though. I have 5 firms on speed dial for different kinds of litigation of i should ever need them in a professional capacity. All really incredible specialists in their fields. A good solicitor is like gold dust. Once you find one keep them

God I wish those revolutionaries would have followed the Brits back and liberated us all from the crown.

Very entertaining..amazing coast.Thanks.

These fast tracked prosecutions are ‘politically’ motivated therefore these are political prisoners!

Nice office you’ve got there 🏝️😊. Very interesting video as always 🙏

Thanks for your insight

How shall we deal with these Nazi`s?

I used to think the English were a very smart and strong race, and their royalty was the wisest and most respected in the world because of their long history. But with all this mass migration landing on their shores from the Middle Eastern regions and their economic woes and riots in many cities, England has become a basket-case nation of the first order, possibly heading into the history books of failure and oblivion. Unless? Weeping with righteous outrage at this infringement on free expression, the demonstrators overthrew the establishment. There have been several uprisings in England's history. It can be wishful thinking to claim that it won't happen again.

The art of law only applies when people obey or recognise it as a society.

They should all resign, bent as 9/- coins.

It looks like a great place to ruminate upon life!

In the PO Iniquity - who the hell is this guy was my reaction to ex-LCJ N? His humility was stunning by it's total absence.

You don't need permission for a static protest.

So, a judge can never be removed from the bench/office

Very interesting and fantastic scenery as usual

My friend went to Bar School, I recall her dining so many times a year, to qualify. Do you still have to dine?

There more of us that them time is now..

Beautiful view

Where is Lord Sumption what does he have to say about all this??

Great show and watching your backdrop feeds my soul ….oh and very interesting content and therefore subscribed

Silent prayer is obviously not abusive to the public. Stopping traffic obviously IS.

The resurrection of Vasiliy Vasilievich Ulrikh, Stalins longest serving show trial judge.

I've not got any idea about the case you are talking about, but I love the way you talk and explain things that the "common person" like me can follow and understand, without drifting into legalese. Found the video very interesting
