Racist judge told off for racist remarks

Racist judge told off for racist remarks



A judge who described UK immigration policy as "completely lax" has been disciplined for making inappropriate remarks during a court sentencing.

Judge Ian Trigger's comments, at the trial of a Jamaican man at Liverpool Crown Court in 2009, were investigated by the Office for Judicial Complaints.

It concluded that his comments "represented an inappropriate judicial intervention in the political process".

In a statement the Office said the judge had been given "formal advice".
