A Chance to Judge our Judges

What do you think of these recent remarks made by judges?

“Immigrants like you, and there are literally hundreds of thousands of people like you, come to these shores from foreign countries to avail themselves of the generous welfare benefit system here.

The national debt of this country has risen to extraordinary heights because the Government has wasted billions of pounds on such welfare payments.

For every pound that a decent hardworking citizen earns and pays in taxes 10% goes on welfare payments largely to people like you.”

Or try this, “We are living in a society bedevilled by wild youths such as you.”  (Sentencing a 19 year old man for hitting a woman with an iron bar, while on bail for a knife conviction.)

“It is time for the left wing intellectuals and well meaning do-gooders to abandon their obsession and concentrate on the responsibilities we all owe each other.”

These remarks caused a media storm.  What do you think?  Do you agree with the judge?  Do you think he should be allowed to say things like this, whether you agree with it or not?
