The UK is going insane. They want to scrap jury trials and give magistrates the power to lock people up for two years with no right to appeal. That is not reform, that is removing the last speed bump between the state and someone’s freedom. Once that door opens, innocent people do not get protected, they get processed.
🚨HOLY SH*T – THE UK IS GOING FULL POLICE STATE
Not only are they getting rid of Jury trials
They plan to allow magistrates to sentence people for up to two years without appeal ‼️
Last year 40% of appeals from mags courts were upheld.

What happens when the state can jail you without a jury or appeal?
