It’s entirely unsurprising, but no less jarring, to have grown-up with it drilled into us how trial by jury differentiates Great Britain™ from barbarism, only to see it revoked with barely a shrug of the shoulders from the sensibles.

🔴There's been a lot of coverage about David Lammy’s cuts to jury trials but relatively little - nothing! - on his plans to scrap the automatic right to appeal so I took a look for @bylinetimes.bsky.social.

BBC policy of presenter scripts saying “biological males who identify as women” as an addendum to every mention of “trans women” really is sickening

Between institutions running scared of lawsuits demanding they be transphobic and capitulating and the scandalous Hillsborough news that we already knew, sure has been a couple of days of showing that the law provides no actual justice for the people.

I'd hate to be a boat owner after this passes.
Imagine all the information that could be be useful for your navigation but which would ALSO be potentially useful to those guiding small boats across the Channel.
Will the Shipping Forecast cease broadcasting? That, after all, makes crossings easier.

While obviously Lammy's proposal of scrapping many jury trials is getting the headlines, it seems odd how little attention his proposal to scrap the automatic right to appeal is getting. That seems like quite a big thing to be honest, especially for poorer and more marginalised defendants. #r4today

Girl guides have made clear in their documents that they do not want to do this but they cannot afford legal challenges about it from wealthy opponents (such as the wizarding woman).
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

This will include many cases of direct action, in which juries frequently acquit even if the defendants clearly broke the law, but did so on moral grounds.

Decades of SAS propaganda, including Andy McNab books and celebrity TV shows, leads me to believe this couldn’t possibly be true of Our Brave Boys.
The British government and forces left their local translators and interpreters to be killed by the Taliban so they couldn't give evidence in any war-crimes trials

Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.
