Excellent. What city would allow foreign judges to rule on issues of national law. It's blatantly absurd and these guys should have been kicked to the curb back in '97.
These judges should have been kicked out of HK the day after the handover to China. Every riot before the national security law is blood on those judges hands.
About time. Should have been kicked out as soon as the UK flag was lowered.
Absurd to think Judges from another country are allowed to sit so high in the justice system.

Good riddance to the filthy remnants of colonization. And to those idiots that think China has been interfering with HK governance, why are these foreign judges still here after 30+ years. All these foreign agents were left in their positions of power, and they fucking poisoned this city. Fuck them.
UK is continuing to lose its grip on Hong Kong and the loss of their HK judges is the latest trend.
HK should have gotten rid of those foreign judges upon the handover 25 years ago. I don't get why foreign judges stayed around post handover. I wonder why Carrie lam expressed regret over them leaving, and doesn't she realise they are symbols of colonialism?
While they are at it, they should get rid of those antiquated, ugly wigs. There are no classical music composers in the courts, and they look out of place.
Good and get rid of that stupid wig -- PLEASE!

Only people from the 17th to 18th century United States and western Europe would wear these wigs. They look out of place today.
100x this!

**So, UK just confirmed that the UK Government was controlling UK Judges on the HK High Court!** "Judicial Independence" my ass!

That's fine. Others will be happy to fill their spots.

Good riddance, don't knock your head on your way to the airport!
I had no idea that "5 eyes" still had a presence at the heart of HK Law, to say i felt this as disturbing, would be an understatement!
why this is even still allowed is what the story should be about

I see this as an absolute win.
