Another attack on the courts, Iains? Unelected judges, eh? Do you think that anyone who ever gets to have influence should be "elected" (bearing in mind that the vast majority of people don't understand the issues they're voting on, and would quickly get election fatigue in any case)? If you do, then why did your article not mention, say, the gun lobby or the pro-Israel lobby, neither of which were elected by anybody but both of which exert a stranglehold on every administration? What about the multinational corporations? Like everybody else in public office, judges should be scrutinised. But scrutinised does not mean demonised. "Unelected judges" should have your antennae twitching. There is an implied heavy pejorative in that phrase. Your author isn't to be trusted. His remarks on the judiciary are Trumpism writ large. Perhaps that's what you were promoting by linking to the article.
