Ministers look poised to end the right to a jury trial for a vast range of criminal offences in England and Wales, as they grapple with a vast backlog of cases that is delaying hearings by many months.The newspaper reported that juries would remain involved in only the most serious trials — for offences such as rape, murder and manslaughter — or if there was public interest. All other cases would be heard by a judge sitting alone.https://www.ft.com/content/a47a2cbd-fcbf-4363-a544-032964433965
>>1460083>The newspaper reported that juries would remain involved in only the most serious trials — for offences such as rape, murder and manslaughter — or if there was public interest>Non-serious cases have been dealt with in jury-free Magistrates Courts for decades in UKMust be a slow news day indeed if this is all that can be dredged up.
>>1460083Basically they're just going to dismiss every crime from foreigners
>white defendants given suspended sentences - effectively dismissed non-serious crimes - in Magistrates Courts for decades: way before foreign immigrantsMust be a slow news day indeed if this is the best form of comment that can be dredged up.
>>1460085This.
Basically this is a slow news day and this is a nothingburger from an not-burger country that is irrelevant to a US board>>1460085>>1460131Not this
sorry but none of this communist nonsense will end unless someone attempts or succeeds in assassinating keir starmer or the cabinet but i highly doubt that'll happen since us brits are designed to listen to the machine and to never question it. such BS
and to prevent my arrest, i would condemn this, but it would not be TOO surprised if it were to happen,
i kind of regret writing this lol
please dont arrest me for this
>>1460152OI, mate, corr blimey a'll hav ya in chains for expressing a negative opinion on Fascist Faggot Island.
>>1460135Brits are so retarded that they actually think Starmer is not liberal enough
>>1460132It's bait for kneejerk reactionaries but it's still better than race bait stories like >>1460108
>>1460084It sounds pretty important that a major nation wants to restrict juries for crimes…
>>1460296I just don't think anyone is really surprised by UK or EU politics becoming worse and worse under the guidance of supposedly left wingers.And when I say Progressives are totalitarians no one believes me, but here we are, watching the Eurosphere turn into a hard right wing country in the guise of a left wing government.And the biggest problem is that this crap filters down to US liggerals, and they try to emulate it.
>>1460296>>1460359reminder this has been UK policy for years and this story is a nothingburger >>1460084
>>1460365>UK wants to imprison it's citizens for social media posts without a trial- I SLEEP>US wants to deport proven illegal aliens without due process- I'M WOKEHmm.
>>1460359Juryless Common Law trials have been in use since 1846.Juryless Crown Court trials have been used since 2009. (Fucking Right Wing Tories started this, not the Lefties, you twat)I suspect they are increasing the amount of juryless trials because the public were refusing to give a guilty verdict on political protestors (protesting against the israeli invasion of palestine, etc) that the government wanted to make an example, as well as countless cases being dropped because a juror blurted to the press or tweeted what a verdict might be.
>>1460083>wears a rug on his headAnon, I...
>>1460083wow good time to be a criminal in the UK, these judges are out of touch privileged cunts that couldn't give less of a damn. rape and murder? not their problem just make sure its not in their beautiful gated neighbourhood
>>1460488>wow good time to be a criminal in the UKAnd yet their crime rates are far lower than ours.
>>1460508It's so weird that if you don't arrest and convict rapists that crime statistics go down, huh?Also, I'm fairly certain the number of American blacks in the UK is pretty low, which probably helps too.
>>1460547You're too weird to be a judge of what weird is esl shill
>>1460547>It's so weird that if you don't arrest and convict rapists that crime statistics go down, huh?You think crime stats only track crimes with convictions?>Also, I'm fairly certain the number of American blacks in the UK is pretty low, which probably helps too.Pretty sure the Black crime rates in the UK are below that of the US too.
>>1460584>arrest and convictYes, it seems that way if I were to READ MY FUCKING POST
>>1460584>Pretty sure the Black crime rates in the UK are below that of the US too.Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention, READ MY FUCKING POST.
