Re: Indo-UK News & Discussions- June 2017
The SC judgement is totally against the Westminster model. They simply over ruled the law as it stood for centuries. What we now have a rule by Judges in Britshit land. Serves them well anyway. I thought so too. Looks like a judicial coup on the executive in the absence of written Constipation. I a...
