Well, we have this huge debate at the moment, trial by jury, and the Labour government, the far-left Keir Starmer, has tried to say he's going to remove that because our legal system has utterly collapsed.
We have such a backlog, you're now waiting years for a case to come up.
And because of that, they've decided, well, we're just going to make the system less fair and remove your right to jury trial, which is not across the board, but still you remove that right and
We have certainly seen pressure put on judges over the COVID tyranny in terms of free speech.

And therefore, there is pressure using the political language put on judges to rule in favour of what the government wants.
And yet on the other side, you've got zero legal push to actually hold those who have broken into the country illegally, the 50,000 or so who have come over.
In fact, there was a story just two days ago that 200 million has been given to...
Five thousand pounds, so seven and a half thousand dollars has been given per person to 50 illegal immigrants because they had their phones taken off them when they arrived.
So they arrive illegally, the police remove their phones, they go to the European Court of Human Rights and they are told actually Britain is breaking your human rights law.
after you legally came into the country, you must be given $7,500 in apology from the government.
That is how screwed up our judges are in terms of pressure from the UK government and pressure still from the European Union through the European Court of Human Rights, even though we have left that jurisdiction.
They are.

As you said, the richest man in the UK worth $35, $40 billion.
I think the fifth highest taxpayer in the UK.
He pays $150 million a year.
