On the rich man's side

 Once again the judiciary have shown that they support the rich against the poor. The recent decision to allow the government to cheat the public over pensions and benefits just reinforces all one's prejudices about English judges.

 If you are an employee and have a contract with your employer how cam they can just change the rules.  If the government wants to change a contract, let us say over PFI, I am sure the judges will find against the government. How could they possibly change a contract. It would be illegal and unfair, but who would lose out, the rich and powerful, have a change that will screw the workers and somehow that is OK.

The only times judges fin for poor people is when there are no financial consequences for the poor. The trouble is that they only mix with the rich & powerful and have the same set of prejudices as all their public school mates. Is it surprising taht they get cases like this wrong almost every time.

  We need to get a system where judges no less law and more about the world and how things really happen. Are there any penalties for judges who get things wrong?
