My own experience on a jury seriously knocked my confidence in British justice.

I'm not really sure why everyone seems to have such faith in juries. The British public voted for Brexit, Reform are leading in the polls. Do you really want these people deciding on your guilt or innocence.

My only experience of jury service was shocking. The prejudice on display from a number of the jurers was disgusting. Their words - no matter the evidence, you have to support your own. I reported them but nothing happened as it was my word against theirs. They made other jurers very uncomfortable.

I have been part of a jury and it shocked me. The case was a white man against an Asian man. Two white men on the jury said loud and proud 'we have to stick with our own, no matter the facts'. I no longer believe in the jury system.

The thing is that isn't what they were protesting, they deliberately conflated 2 issues. They were protesting Palestinian Action being prescribed as a terrorist group. It isn't illegal to march in support of Palestine.

They aren't allowed to apparently. Something to do with it being produced under another govt who didn't release it.

Sorry to say I just turned off, just can't keep listening to the negativity.

Our media relish in telling us we are in a crisis and broken. They hate the current government. Things are definitely tough but the current government is making decisions for the long term good. And on the international stage Starmer is impressive.

I don't wear a Poppy. I buy one every year but never wear it. Does that make me a bad person.

They could have the best Comms team in the world, but if the media won't report it or are only interested in spinning and gotchas then there is nothing they can do.

Do you honestly think she took the risk to try and avoid paying my £900. That's absurd. She paid people to be organised on her behalf and they let her down. I understand ultimate responsibility but to expect her to resign over something so minor is the road to madness.

I think we are in danger of blowing things completely out of proportion. People make mistakes. If we'd all been sacked everytime something went wrong or we forgot something there wouldn't be many of us in a job. Politicians are humans too who have busy lives.

As a white person, growing up I called all my parents friends aunty and uncle. It was considered respectful.

Although I don't disagree with you in principle, many people hand over responsibility to others and pay them to do the right thing. That appears to be what has happened here. If the King hadn't paid a tax would you blame him or his courtiers who should have paid it for him.

I just don't believe the British public is that stupid and misinformed. And 3 years before an election it's pretty pointless

The Republican party controls all the areas of the government. They are responsible for the government shut down.

I listened to him the other night and he was clearly anti Labour. I have no problem with criticism of the government but it needs to be fair and balanced and not a gotcha hatchet moment. The media needs to start taking some responsibility or we will end up with Trump mark 2 in control here.

I don't think it matter what Comms come out, the media are only interested in gotcha moments and bashing Labour. The media moguls want Farage in power and will stop at nothing until they get their way.

I'm not an American but am desperate for as many people as possible to attend. Just to give me faith that the average American can see Trump and his administration for what it is.

Whatever he does he is always in the wrong. Last night on LBC he was too pro Palestine and had abandoned the Jewish community. On Bluesky he was a Jew lover and had supported genocide. He can't win.
