Good news on the BBC. The start of the piece:

“New rules on sentencing criminals from ethnic minorities have been abandoned following a weeks-long standoff between senior judges and the government.

Shabana Mahmood, the justice secretary, believed the proposals from top judges would have created a “two-tier” justice system. [J4MB: It is already, of course, a two-tier system with regards to gender.]

The new guidelines, which had been in development for months, told judges to seek extra information before deciding how to punish offenders from certain minority groups. [J4MB: And one majority group, females.]”
