... all part of larger “reforms” that would empower tyrannical authoritarianism.
Authored by Kit Knightly: Plans to 'reform' the UK’s criminal justice system – including the scrapping of jury trials for some offences and reduced sentences for those who plead guilty – are all part of larger “reforms” that would empower tyrannical authoritarianism.

Former senior judge and current Investigatory Powers Commissioner Brian Leveson made the news this week with the publication of his report recommending, among other things, “jury-free” trials, just like the ones fathers and their children are screwed over with in the so-called family courts, in order to “prevent the collapse of the criminal justice system”.
Note the language, by the way. “Jury-free“, not “jury-less“, as if juries are a food additive we should avoid, rather than a right guaranteed in British law for over 800 years.
