Putting to one side the fact that democracies rely the rule of law to prevent tyranny, and the rule of law requires an independent judiciary, indy100 decided to play the tabloids at their own game.

By comparing the demographic make-up of the justices of the UK Supreme Court with Brexit voters and Remain voters, indy100 found things aren't always as Paul Dacre sees them.
