This is just an attempt to avoid jury nullification verdicts on cases like Palestine Action and JSO.
Defending israel's right to commit genocide is more important than our ancient rights to a jury trial.
I was under the impression that jury trials have a higher false conviction rate so this is actually a win? Then again its the UK so I'm sure some way will be found to fuck it up.
A good article as ever by the Secret Barrister.
I do think though, that TSB faith in Judges, CPS lawyers, Barristers, to accept even miniscule changes to the current status quo is misplaced. They are very entrenched in their ways and resist change.
Part of me wonders whether the sledgehammer approach is intended to shake them out of their inertia so they might accept actual pragmatic changes to the system.
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
