Drug dealers and career criminals were “laughing in the dock” knowing cases can take years to come to trial, Sarah Sackman told the Guardian, saying inaction would be a road to “chaos and ruin”. Continue reading...

Anyone else remember when Jeremy Corbyn was allowed as much leeway as Nigel Farage is getting for alleged antisemitism before he got removed from his position…?

According to Nigel Farage, antisemitism is now just “playground banter”, yeah?
He didn’t “directly abuse any individual”, he says - in other words, his racism was towards ALL Jews rather than just one…
Farage calls all of these students liars - who to believe, eh…? 🤔🤷🏻♂️🙄🤦🏻♂️
Time to get rid of him… 🤮

Juries are not perfect.
Many of the worst miscarriages of justice have followed jury trials.
But the merit of juries is not so much the power they have, but the power they prevent others from having.
They mean a judge cannot just nod-along with prosecution evidence and give a guilty verdict.
