So, you went to a premier public school, then to a red brick university, progressed through the bar to become a silk and then became a judge. But you weren't clever enough to know that accessing porn on your work PC was gross misconduct.

I was going to despair, but then I read about your colleague

Now THAT made me really despair. You just can't beat the British justice system.

Perhaps. Somewhat ironically, the lady whom His Dishonour insulted by claiming she.must work in a shop .......has a law degree. Sadly, I can't claim an expensive private education or attendance at a red brick, so innuendo will have to do. Still, I'm not a bigoted racist or a porn addict, so that comprehensive worked out ok. Ish.

Pru was probably spartaned by one of them when he was training. You know how the old warrior used to look after the young apprentice.

So you CAN actually remove someone's passport.
Five teenage girls who expressed an interest in travelling to Syria have been banned from leaving the country by a high court judge.

The move came after concerns were raised by the local council about the girls, two of whom were aged 15 and three of them 16.

At a hearing in London, Mr Justice Hayden made them wards of court, which prevents them from leaving the jurisdiction of England and Wales.

The judge, who directed that the girls could not be identified, also made orders removing their passports and those of adults involved in their care.


He said he made the latter order because of evidence that, in at least one other case, young girls had travelled on passports belonging to members of their family.

There was also evidence that the family members in the case had not been full and frank with social services and that the girls had been moving to a more radicalised position.

Now, I'm not soft-assed about all this stuff but can anyone explain why any 16+ yr old should be stopped leaving the country ?

We should stop them returning maybe, but on what basis can we ... should we ... stop them travelling out ?

Oh I totally agree there, look at the latest example of these medical students and I quote,
“These kids were born and raised in England, but they were sent to Sudan to study at medical school,” Ediboglu said. “I’ve asked the families why they sent their children to study there, and as I understood it, they wanted them to experience a more Islamic culture and not to forget their roots.”
Now hang on, I thought they all embraced English culture being they were born and breed here :conf:
Next comment is how fcuking stupid are their parents?
Followed by, seems their parents really want to integrate and live in a Western society.
Fifth column is picking up speed methinks, lets wait for the bleeding hearts to start wanting our police/government to get them back!

Edit Now some people are beginning to half suggest they are doing good work and should not be prosecuted if they return here, fcuk me they will be awarded sainthoods next!

Eluned. But you knew that really, deep down.
Wife's (like mine) memory ain't what it used to be. She's Scouse born with Welsh relations on her mother's side. She's had no contact with any Welsh relations for years, but Glyn Owen, the Welsh T.V and film actor ( now deceased )was her cousin and came to her brother's funeral in York. Point of the post is: As a child she remembers visiting her auntie Eluned, (she pronounces it "Elined" but can't recall whether her relations lived in Caernarfon or Carmarthen.(I'm guessing the former, because Carmarthen is way down near the south pole somewhere) It was the name Eluned that caught my attention, Bobo.

A 'u' in the midde of a word is normally pronounced 'i'. So Eluned is said "E-lyn-ed'.

It means 'image' or 'idol'. Strange meaning but there you go.
