* Judge Jeremy Johnson had to rig two jury trials before he secured a criminal conviction for damage against four activists who targeted an Israeli drone factory in the UK.

* This week he's referred their defence barrister for contempt of court proceedings for a second time – again a British legal history first – even though the Court of Appeal rejected his previous application.
