The tories scrapped the jury trials for up to one year in prison in 2020, so that part isn't scrapped presumably. The birthplace of modern liberty, cancelling it without a goddamned fight.

Also, they basically cancelled the right to protest, if disfavoured by the politcians. Plus falsley proscribing groups as terrorists based on politicians' say so. Plus a bunch of other stuff.

I appreciate the links, especially about the scrapping of these jury trial changes from 1 year to 3 years in prison soley decided by the UK's famously haughty and aristocratic cuntish old boys club that is it's legal system.

But I must disagree, the UK is further into fascism than the US. You blokes just don't realize it, for aforementioned reasons. Although reasonable people could disagree on a which is worse off.

I think the US will surpass the UK in getting worse in most ways soon-ish, and we already are worse in many ways, healthcare, business running amok, drug prices, less protections and regulations all around to protect us and more faithess enforcements. Still though.

    No they didn't, I've seen you saying this before and it's still wrong. In 2020 they increased amount of time a magistrate could sentence someone to from 6 months to 1 year, but the accused could still freely choose to have a jury trial.
