Surprise? UK courts follow elite interests and have always done so. Take their refusal to extradite Augusto Pinochet to Spain a decade ago
I'm very surprised at that, since it didn't happen.

To paraphrase, when the government does it, it's not illegal. It would be absurd to expect any other outcome.
Not at all, the executive frequently acts unreasonably and gets slapped down by the courts. However, when parliament grants very broad powers (as in the case of a lot of anti-terrorism legislation) they are more likely to get away with it.
A fairly standard (but nonetheless shameful) case this morning: http://www.theguardian.com/uk-...
No, all senior judges have the title "Lord Justice" and it just so happens this one used to be called Mr Laws.
However, Lord Chief Justice Judge has retired.
Whilst I wouldn't be 100% sure based on a press report, it does appear to be laser fused:
Everything you can accelerate to the speed of light has no mass so that doesn't help. The momentum of a massless particle traveling the speed of light is zero.
It's not a particularly surprising result but it's one thing saying that after the fact, and another to do a good quality trial. 90-99% of science (well, to be honest, pretty much of everything worth doing) takes skill and patience rather than a moment of brilliance.
Because the vast majority Muslims who either enter or leave "the land of milk and honey" are not enemy combatants or terrorists or intending to fight any kind of war.
Yes, but that's not the point is it? We're not talking about the vast majority of Muslims, we're talking about the ones that have just returned form a war zone.
It doesn't mean you automatically lose a debate
Not as originally stated, although that is often assumed to follow. For example, the Jargon file has:
“As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.” There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress.
There's likely more than one already.
bpf has used one for twenty years or so; not sure when that got merged in the Linux kernel.
The tornado GR4 is a bomber, not a fighter.
BAE, the manufacturers claim it was a Tornado fighter, although they may have tested on another variant.
Nice try, but no. The UK startup was named "Premium Interest", so its a logical trademark.
However, it wasn't incorprated until April 2012.
There is the local/global bit and the multicast bit, so it's more like 4 million other companies. However, you are essentially correct.
So, Coca-Cola went and spent $665 dollars for a single block. This is not news.
Seeing as how the BBC article clearly mentions that the "Passengers" (aka Researchers) on the ship have been rescued.
Passengers is more accurate than researchers, because some of them were paying tourists. Given there were 52, quite probably the majority were tourists and guides.
But why make not picking up after your dog an arrestable offence anyway?
The concept no longer exists in English law, all offences are arrestable: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrestable_offence
