Euro judges see sense - for now

It seems like the loony Euro judges in Strasbourg have decided to see sense today and allow the British state to remove a handful terror suspects after all.  Good.

I suspect that they did so out of a sense of self preservation, rather than because of any thing else. 

Far from being objective arbiters of all that is true and wise, Euro judges tend to adjudicate in accordance with their own subjective outlook and opinions.  Sensing that patience with them is wearing thin - and that those of us advocating the UK's withdrawal from their rotten jurisdiction are winning the argument - the Euro judges did the right thing.

Rather than reassure us, however, this ought to strengthen the argument for making judges more accountable to the rest of us.
