‘Secret terror trial is ‘outrageous assault’ on justice
A major terrorism trial is set to be heard entirely in secret in a “totally unprecedented departure” from centuries of open justice in Britain, it can be disclosed.
For the first time in British legal history, two men charged with serious terror offences will be kept anonymous and the press and public will be excluded from their trial, the Court of Appeal heard.
MPs and civil rights campaigners said it was an “outrageous assault” on the principles of open justice and set a “very dangerous precedent”.
Prosecutors have successfully applied for the case to be heard in private on grounds of national security but media organisations are trying to overturn the decision.
Journalists have up until now even been banned from reporting the fact that a trial was to be heard in secret….’

      Sure does, Ronbo. I wonder if these bastards know the significance of the date June 15, 1215?

    Sounds like East Germany in 1950. They’re just softening up the populace for more erosion of liberty, culture and freedom.

    This sort of thing is forbidden by both Magna Carta and the Petition of Right. Are there any Britons remaining who remember their own history?

      “Are there any Britons remaining who remember their own history?”
      Why yes, there are. But history is such boring stuff, Francis and better to leave the old men and women alone to carry on about it. We the Young and Hip have far more interesting and exciting things to occupy us. What’s Rihanna wearing at the Oscars party? Did Hugh Jackman really sleep with Paltrow? And have you been to that new restaurant yet? Somebody said they saw Suzy Whatsit there!

      Cartoon people thinking in cartoon terms. Trivia obsessed celebrity worshippers who never yet met a pleasure they wouldn’t put before principle. Uninformed, propagandized, self-centred indoctribots too armoured by their own self-esteem to know just how little they know.

      Magna Carta? Pfft….

        There is a slight snag here. Both the Magna Carta and the Petition of Right (and a great deal of other English Common Law) have been trumped by the EU’s Corpus Juris, which is based on Napoleonic Law. The highest court in the “land” now sits in Luxembourg, and regularly tells British judges how to think and what is right and wrong. This court is staffed by failed politicos in grand robes, not by judges or other lawyers.

        You will be aware of the crude summary that English Common Law permits everything that is not specifically forbidden, whereas Napoleonic Law forbids everything that is not specifically permitted.

        This is another of the stealth changes, changes that the people did not ask for but that has been thrust upon them by those who “know best”. At the moment most people don’t care. When they do care, they will also have to understand that elections are broken and that we will have to do another Runneymede to right the wrongs. Given the impact of the thought police these days, it will be much more difficult to organise second time around.

    It will be interesting to see whether the NZ Law Society comments on this breach of jurisprudence. The Society was loud in its condemnation of Fiji’s treatment of its local lawyers.
