These British judges are most likely to sympatize with the black rioters.Sorry, this is in Chinese. Please use your own Google translation etc.
It basically said, the British judges might leave their post and return to the UK if they find themselves compromised by having to apply the newly created Chinese national security law.
It also said that every year, the UK send two judges to Hong Kong to hear the court of appeal! What! Where in the world would allowed that, and the MSM us trying to say Hong Kong is not free!
Good riddance I say!
英國法官可能因國家安全法退出香港 英國最資深的法官警告說,如果國家安全法威脅到法院的獨立性,英國法官將在香港辭職。 最高法院院長羅伯特·里德(Robert Reed)表示,它支持香港法官“致力於維護司法獨立和法治”。法官週五在一份聲明中說,最高法院將“繼續評估局勢”。 里德在對香港局勢的空前干預中說:“新的安全法包含許多引起關注的條款。” “其效果將取決於它在實踐中的應用方式。” 由民主派譴責的這項立法突然對金融中心的普通法體系施加了深遠的影響。它賦予香港行政長官任命法官處理案件的權力,而北京政府也有權管轄一些與外國影響或其他“嚴重情況”有關的“複雜”案件。 自1997年移交以來,英國已派出兩名現任法官在香港終審法院審理案件。

Good that they return and practice only in the country of their allegiance.
I don't think it will affect the integrity of the courts seeing the blatant bias shown in recent days.
Singapore is still going strong after getting rid of the British Privy Council for court of last appeal.
I feel though that the stinging judgement made by the Privy Council absolving our then opposition politician, J.B. Jeyaretnam that precipitated its removal made sense.
