I believe in Justice for all.
Justice should not only be done but should be seen to be done.
The Justice System is for all, but it`s only as good and as strong as we make it.
And - Justice delayed is Justice denied!

The right to trial by jury has been a fundamental feature of the British Justice System for over 800 years. Any attempt by the government to undermine this fundamental freedom - a cornerstone of our democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarianism - must be opposed
