Oh, you still have jury trials? Must have been expected to receive less than 3 years in prison because they cancelled jury trials for all of them. Aren’t you glad you voted for labour?

No, they havent “cancelled” them. There is legislation going through which would restrict trial by jury for those offences, but it hasnt even reached the lords yet. That is likely to be where it is picked apart.

They already did it for a year or less in prison in 2020 and that is passed no?

The maximum a magistrate could sentence for a single either-way offense changed from 6 months to 12 months then, someone accused of an either way offense could still elect to have their case in front of a jury at crown court (with the possibility of >12 month sentence). I wouldn’t consider that a particularly significant change, and it didn’t attract a large amount of criticism from the legal profession like the current proposed change has.

You don’t think an unelected rep shouldn’t be able to send you into the bay for year? How about three?
Jesus Christ, England is the birthplace of modern liberty, and you are surrendering it? Fuck you. Fight. Let me help, I can troll these motherfuckers better than any with a little help. Can we not fight and not surrender?

Bull fucking shit bro, I read about his shit, you guys are letting your ancient freedoms being ripped away, and aren’t doing shit about it. Man up. Woman up. Are you going to let the aristocrats cancel the magna carta on you?
Fucking pathetic. You can pretend this is something else with the sheep, not with me, you are surrendering to the oligarchy. Man up.
