Our thanks to Jim for this excellent piece in The Epoch Times. An early extract:
On Monday, speaking to the House of Commons Justice Committee, Professor Penney Lewis from the Law Commission said they had been asked to conduct a review by the government but had added their own “radical options,” one of which was looking at juryless trials in England and Wales. [J4MB emphasis]
Penney Lewis, Canadian, appeared in a blog piece we posted in 2020, Is misogyny about to be made into a hate crime? Legal advisors say offences motivated by hatred of women should be punishable by seven years in jail.

A very good article outlining the situation and the lies that underpin this. I was heartened to see the Criminal Bar in Scotland stand up for men’s human rights and oppose the SNPs attempts to deny this basic right to accused men. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-65531380
I haven’t seen any further reports from Scotland about what has happened since.
Readers might remember that it was the CBA here in England that was very active in identifying that 25% of convictions in England were “unsound” after the duplicity and sharp practice of the Police and CPS were exposed in 2017/18 when some cases “collapsed” and a CPS retained Barrister exposed the attempts to hobble the courts and defense at the expense of due process. Suprise surprise in subsequent years the numbers of cases going to court fell by …… 25%. Suggesting that the whistle blowers and CBA was entirely accurate in their estimate of the proportion of cases that wouldn’t stand up to rigorous investigation. Sadly there has been no retrospective investigation of the many cases that went through prior to the scandal of 2017/18. And the feminist lobby has taken the fall by a quarter as evidence that “special” courts need to replace Juries.
In effect this is sex discrimination as it is men who will be denied the right to a fair trial, purely on the basis of being male.
