Lord Denning was spot on in Miller v Jackson
In summertime village cricket is the delight of everyone. Nearly every village has its own cricket field where the young men play and the old men watch. In the village of Lintz in County Durham they have their own ground, where they have played these last seventy years. They tend it well. The wicket area is well rolled and mown. The outfield is kept short. It has a good club-house for the players and seats for the onlookers. The village team play there on Saturdays and Sundays. They belong to a league, competing with the neighbouring villages. On other evenings after work they practice while the light lasts. Yet now after these 70 years a Judge of the High Court has ordered that they must not play there anymore, lie has issued an injunction to stop them. He has done it at the instance of a newcomer who is no lover of cricket. This newcomer has built, or has had built for him, a house on the edge of the cricket ground which four years ago was a field where cattle grazed. The animals did not mind the cricket. But now this adjoining field has been turned into a housing estate. The newcomer bought one of the houses on the edge of the cricket ground. No doubt the open space was a selling point. Now he complains that, when a batsman hits a six, the ball has been known to land in his garden or on or near his house. His wife has got so upset about it that they always go out at weekends. They do not go into the garden when cricket is being played. They say that this is intolerable. So they asked the Judge to stop the cricket being played. And the Judge, I am sorry to say, feels that the cricket must be stopped: with the consequences, I suppose, that the Lintz cricket-club will disappear. The cricket ground will be turned to some other use. I expect for more houses or a factory. The young men will turn to other things instead of cricket. The whole village will be much the poorer. And all this because of a newcomer who has just bought a house there next to the cricket ground.

Every village has it’s own version of Pat Kenny. While I’m not altogether sympathetic to cricket playing fannies this gimp needs to be encouraged to review his opinion.
The court ruling will stand and the cunt should be made travel 30 miles for his cocoa.
should be nominated for COTY, every year because he’s a cunt
n 1980, during an appeal by the Birmingham Six (who were later acquitted), Denning judged that the men should be stopped from challenging legal decisions. He listed several reasons for not allowing their appeal:
Just consider the course of events if their action were to proceed to trial … If the six men failed it would mean that much time and money and worry would have been expended by many people to no good purpose. If they won, it would mean that the police were guilty of perjury; that they were guilty of violence and threats; that the confessions were involuntary and improperly admitted in evidence; and that the convictions were erroneous. … That was such an appalling vista that every sensible person would say, “It cannot be right that these actions should go any further.”[90]

Denning was a total cunt, but once you get through that, and the suspicion that he had dementia of some kind towards the end of his career such was the bile he spewed, at his peak he was apparently a legal superstar with common sense, a rarity.
I think he opined that it was a great shame the Birmingham six hadn’t been executed, as they wouldn’t have been able to appeal.

He lost the plot near the end as seen in that Birmingham Six judgment (as soon as I posted the cricket piece I knew somebody would post it) but he was instrumental in many key advancements in English law and jurisprudence.

I despised him as the epitome of British empire evil, but when I read around a bit, he was a remarkable legal mind before he went mad (maybe it was always there)
He was the best and worst of it. A conservative reformer.
There was an interview of him later on when he resembled a bastard lovechild of Monty burns and Ian Paisley. It was most remarkable for his pants which were round his chest.
