        A bit like Trump saying a judge can't be trusted because he's Mexican, no? Or am I not allowed to point that out?

        Don't worry, people have discovered one of the other appeals judges is Jewish so that's going down well.

        Salt and pepper are often seen together. Therefore, salt causes pepper.

        Nope, another judge is part of that, apparently. Not sure if they've identified the third as a lizard yet

      I believe he also did backing vocals on D:Ream's 'Things Can Only Get Better'. Sounds like a dunker to me.

      I think it's probably quite a good idea that senior judges are experienced and know the law, really.

      Just a thought but maybe vastly experienced counsel on each side would have asked to recuse if they thought there was bias?!
