Judicial corruption has increased exponentially since the 1997 Blair government called some extremely unsuitable and barely qualified individuals to the bench to tick political boxes, ( and the same is true of the police too, since officers have been appointed and promoted according to quotas).
At a certain level and when it comes to the practices of certain people, which cannot be discussed publicly, it is more than corrupt - it is completely controlled and maleable.
What a hard question to answer concisely and without getting into trouble !
