And hello everybody, welcome back to Parliament Watch. Another day and another Labour scandal uncovered. Now, the Labour Party don’t represent you. In fact, in their minds eye, it’s anyone not British that they represent. That’s the reality here. And as for English people, native British people, well, yeah, they don’t work on behalf of you.
Now, in the House of Commons, Reform UK’s Sarah Pochin, who worked as a magistrate for 20 years, speaks about the Labour Courts and Tribunal Bill, arguing judges will feel pressured by politicians to imprison less criminals. Yes, making it harder to jail ethnic minorities specifically. Ladies and gentlemen, let’s give this a watch.
This is pretty damn shocking, but first, please do hit the like button and the subscribe button for more. As a magistrate of 20 years and a chairman of the court for 17 of those years, I hope I have something to offer to this debate. In that 20 years, I was part of a judicial process that saw myself always with two fellow magistrates send many defendants to prison.
I will never forget the first time I was part of a bench that sent someone to prison. For one individual, one judge to have the power and to be the only perspective in administering a prison sentence is not justice. Furthermore, a single justice acting alone may come under pressure from politicians not to send defendants to prison due to a lack of prison space available, regardless as to whether that defendant should in fact receive a custodial sentence.
There may also be cases where a single justice is more lenient towards defendants of ethnic minorities for fear of being called racist if custodial sentences are frequently given by that judge to those defendants from ethnic minorities, regardless as to whether as to the demographics of that court area. With this bill, there is no scrutiny of a judge, no ability to question that judge’s decision.
No majority vote. A life-changing prison sentence can be given on the judgment of an individual with a single perspective and prejudice without any checks and balances. The state will be administering justice, not the people. Everyone deserves the right to trial by their peers. In this bill, the government is removing trial by jury for serious crimes which attract prison sentences up to 3 years.
These could be serious domestic violence incidents, sexual assault, theft, fraud, and so on. This bill is intended to speed up justice and cut court waiting lists, but there is no credible evidence to suggest that this would be achieved under these changes. Courts need investment and to be run more efficiently in order to speed up justice.
Solicitors need to be on time and ready for trial. So much of the delays caused in the process before the case even comes before a jury. These proposals are the exact opposite of justice. These proposals go against the foundations of law and order in this country. So, there you go. I mean, pretty damn sinister indeed, but not really surprising when it comes to their schemes.
As I said at the start, they don’t have native people in their minds eye. And in fact, everything they do goes against the native people every single time. Guys, let me know your thoughts on that down there in the comments and don’t forget to hit like and subscribe for more.
