"Madam President, why should the British public, or the French public for that matter, have any faith in a court which has judges from countries like Russia (witness the Khodorkovsky case) who are clearly not independent, and countries like Ukraine (witness the Tymoshenko case), where the judiciary is clearly not independent? Some of these judges have no judicial training – they are political appointees. Why should these foreign, unelected and unaccountable judges be able to decide on matters of our own national security and our criminal justice system in the United Kingdom? I am afraid there is no confidence in the integrity of this Court. It needs to be reformed and its powers need to be reined in. I am very sorry, but that is the feeling of most of my constituents."@en1
