Once upon a time, in this green and pleasant land, democracy was a simple and sacred concept. The people voted for Members of Parliament, who, in turn, debated and legislated on behalf of us, the people, ultimately deciding the nation’s course.
It was never perfect—politicians can be dithering or occasionally useless—but they had one essential virtue: accountability. If the electorate disapproved, they could be voted out.
Yet today, an unelected judicial elite has seized control, bypassing Parliament, vetoing government decisions, and reshaping policy without a shred of democratic legitimacy. This is no mere anomaly; it is a full-blown constitutional crisis.
Judges Overruling Democracy
Take immigration. Time and time again, the British people have made it abundantly clear: they want firm control over the nation’s borders. The Conservative government attempted to act—only to be told by judges that Rwanda was not an acceptable destination for deportations. Not because Parliament debated and overturned the policy. Not because the electorate rejected it. But because a handful of unelected judges decided they knew better.
This same judicial overreach extends to our economy. Courts are now dictating what businesses can and cannot pay their workers, who should be employed, and even how long a coffee break lasts. Who would even want to set up a business under these dystopian, whip-cracking, re-tape conditions?
The cost-of-living crisis should be tackled through economic policy and government action—by elected representatives doing their jobs. Instead, fundamental market decisions have been hijacked by a judiciary that is increasingly creeping into areas that belong to Parliament… and it needs to be stopped.
The Latest Outrage: Politicians Gagged
The judicial coup reached new heights last week with the case of a Gazan family granted entry to Britain under a scheme explicitly designed for Ukrainians. Naturally, this ruling sparked fierce debate in Parliament. After all, immigration policy is a matter for elected officials, reflecting national sentiment and the will of the electorate.
But the country’s top judge, Lady Chief Justice Carr, had other ideas. She declared it “unacceptable” for politicians to even discuss such rulings in Parliament.
Excuse me?
What, then, is the point of Parliament if our elected representatives cannot scrutinise the decisions that shape national policy? If judicial rulings are beyond debate, Britain is no longer a democracy—it is an oligarchy ruled by black-robed mandarins, accountable to no one but themselves.
An Activist Judiciary
And let’s be clear: this type of judicial activism is growing unchecked. Under the Tories, there were, of course, legal battles against foreign courts—meddling European judges who were blocking flights from taking off and overriding decisions made by the UK’s Supreme Court, the UK’s High Court, and the UK’s Court of Appeal. We all remember it well.
But now, emboldened by Labour’s victory, it appears even some UK judges are discarding all pretence of impartiality and embracing interventionism with reckless abandon.
In recent weeks, we’ve seen judicial absurdities, including:
- A judge ruling that a Cuban woman be granted a visa to join her boyfriend in the UK—despite the minor inconvenience that he had already died.
- A judge decreeing that a Nigerian woman should stay in Britain because she had joined a terrorist group.
- A High Court judge overturning Conservative reforms aimed at tightening incapacity benefit assessments, prioritising handouts over accountability.
- A coroner ruling that the SAS were wrong to eliminate IRA terrorists.
- A Jamaican drug dealer laughing in the face of deportation, telling the judge he would continue smoking cannabis—and being allowed to stay.
- An Albanian criminal avoiding deportation because his son, apparently a young gourmet, disliked chicken nuggets.
- A Grenadian criminal dodging justice because her Latvian husband would suffer immensely from the loss of a diet unsuited to Caribbean spices.
A Loophole That Isn’t a Loophole
Of course, to appease the great British public, Keir Starmer says he recognises the ludicrousness of this situation and claims that he is working to close the “legal loophole” used in the Gazan family case. But here’s the problem—there was no loophole. The court acknowledged that under existing immigration rules, the family had no right to enter Britain. Yet the judges ruled that their “compelling” Article 8 rights under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) trumped British law.
This precedent is devastating. It means any individual overseas who claims to be in danger and has family in Britain can now invoke the ECHR as a golden ticket. And with Attorney General Richard Hermer already ruling out challenging the ECHR, this open door will never be shut.
Is former Chief Prosecutor Keir Starmer in on the plan? One has to wonder.
Democracy or Rule by Judges?
However, this issue extends beyond any single case—it’s becoming frighteningly normal. Activist judges are overstepping their remit, imposing their ideological views on Parliament, and undermining Britain’s constitutional traditions. This is not the rule of law—it is rule by lawyers.
A functioning democracy requires that the people’s elected representatives—not unelected judges—make the law and govern the country. Yet creeping American-style “separation of powers” thinking is taking hold. Let’s be clear: Britain is not America. Our system is built on parliamentary sovereignty, not judicial overreach.
Parliament Must Fight Back
The fact is Parliament has the power to restore democracy. It can rewrite the law. It can abolish the Supreme Court. It can remove the Lady Chief Justice. It can, if necessary, pass emergency legislation banning all foreign chicken nuggets. Parliament is sovereign and the authority of our elected representatives is absolute.
So, Starmer needs to step up—and we, the people, must hold him accountable. He must stop unelected officials from running roughshod over British democracy. But will he? We’re not holding our breath.
Join the Fight for Sovereignty
This is why the Great British PAC is so important. We’re watching, and we’re getting ready for 2029. We have established a whistleblower depository for those who witness judicial activism in action. In 2029, the receipts will be opened, and true democratic justice will be served. The statute book will be rewritten, and the drip-feed of power to activist judges, QUANGOs and regulators who seek to rule instead of serve will be turned off for good.
