I'm afraid that Timothy Dawkins and anon at 2:14am(?) have fallen into the same trap as everyone else who automatically get on their high horse once the issue of diversity gets mentioned. The point is not about quotas and PC, it's that by essentially barring a huge section of society from appointments as important as in the senior judiciary, you are missing out on a huge talent pool and we are all the poorer for it. Also, having a judiciary that better reflects all our backgrounds gives the judiciary itself more credibility. Of course we want people who can do the job (d'oh!) but are you sertiously telling me that only white middlwe class oxbride types can be good judges? I think not!
