English courts don't need no stinkin' jury; or, further tales of who doesn't deserve a country

#1

Speaking of not deserving a country . . . the UK’s deputy prime minister and justice secretary is supposed to remove the right to trial by jury for many court cases. Note this will likely include people accused of “hate speech” (because their maximum sentence is less than x number of years), taking away their right to insist on a jury trial. How convenient!

An update from 2 days ago: Deputy PM David Lammy set to announce jury trial reforms

This is being promulgated by David Lammy, current deputy prime minister and justice secretary, and former foreign secretary–an honourable gentleman known for the vast breadth of his knowledge . . . Famously, when asked who succeeded Henry VIII, he answered, “Henry VII.”

That and other public displays of his knowledge: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10276977/David-Lammys-unfortunate-answers-Celebrity-Mastermind-2009-resurface-given-new-role.html

… Englandistan is totally lost, they should just mount the speakers on Big Ben and the church spires and start the daily prayers, what is left of the country is way past the tipping point, as a nation it no longer matters except for the fact that they may have a few nukes, a few subs, a few missiles and some military hardware. What military hardware they have will be occupied rounding up people who post “mean tweets” or publicly proclaim they like bacon. Military folks who study these kind of things estimate that Englandistan could fight two weeks to six months against the Russians

I wish I could disagree, but alas . . . After such an illustrious history, to go down in such ignominy is sad in the extreme.
