@m.e.myselfandfatigue: When a politician like Robert Jenrick publicly amplifies targeted attacks against a judge, calling for their dismissal following a legitimate legal ruling, it sounds like a niche political dispute. But make no mistake: this directly threatens your personal safety and freedom.  If you’re wondering why you should care, let’s break it down without the boring legal jargon. At its core, the Rule of Law simply means that no one is above the law - not even the government. For that to work, our system relies on the Separation of Powers: ⚖️ Parliament makes the laws. ⚖️ Ministers run the country. ⚖️ Independent Judges decide cases fairly, following the law, not political pressure. Right now, certain politicians are trying to smash that third pillar down. They are attacking a judge because they didn’t like a specific legal decision (in this case, denying bail in the Danny Thomas case).  Why should you care about this? Imagine a government or political party that can pick and choose which judges stay and which ones get fired. If they get their way, they will replace independent judges with yes-men who only rule in ways that benefit the politicians in power. If that happens, the courts stop being a neutral referee. If the government ever overreaches, breaks its own rules, or comes after your rights, you will no longer have an independent court to protect you. Your right to a fair trial, your protections against state corruption, and your personal freedom depend entirely on judges who answer only to the law - not to angry politicians running social media mobs. This isn’t about politics; it’s about whether we want a justice system built on fairness or a system built on political intimidation. #UKLaw #RuleOfLaw #SeparationOfPowers #UKPolitics #Judiciary

ffs can't be given bail if pleading no fixed abode no judge would grant it he's a flight risk

cazz265 :

You think it’s a proportional punishment to the crime? Considering some sex offenders are given bail and suspended sentences?

What are Jenricks reasons behind this??

SaveourCountry🇬🇧 :

THAT JUDGE IS BENT…

1ukup1 :

I think any judge would have remanded him, he was a drug dealer that went to prison for attempted kidnapping, he vanished 1 time already when he found himself in hot water so with his previous convictions and the hi risk of him being a fly risk I cant see any judge bailing him

Foot Slave :

independent and genuine judges who are not activists are generally left alone by politicians. When judges becomes biased political activists, then it is right that MPs criticise them, and ideally they should be removed if their behaviour is either biased, politically motivated, or corrupt.

seamusmulholland72 :

This is straight out of their hero Trump's playback. anyone who opposed them any accountability any challenge and they resort to these kind of tactics fir the the judiciary are only independent when doing what they want them to. They ate dangerous

jameshhh12777 :

Just curious who did the dinghy belong to and when did the offence get reported ?

riverlane :

They said at their conference they would change the way judges are appointed to coid being blocked with their plans. Again straight out the Trump playbook and not sure its going too great out there

osswoman228 :

jenrick does not have our women and childrens best interests at heart....

Gerald Nykerk :

Jenrick is terrified that he has jumped ship to now find himself sinking with it under the weight of corruption and malfeasance.

As usual, Rob’s mouth talks before his mind even start to think
