You know for a fact they're only doing this because juries are routinely finding anti-genocide and climate change protestors innocent.
Bit of a test case here for “is liberalism still a real thing, or is it just a political version of a collection of Labubus that you show off to your friends” IMO.
![NEW: The Government is set to scrap trial by
jury for most cases
Only murder, rape, manslaughter and a few public interest cases will go to a jury, while all other cases will be decided by a single judge

The move will be highly controversial.

People were gaining a language, sense of history and set of conceptual tools that delegitimised both white supremacy *and the wider systems of capitalism and colonialism-imperialism* that it's bound up with.

"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

The trans issue is particularly instructive because you can actually see how the spike in anti-trans newspaper articles significantly anticipated any shift in public polling. It very much started in the U.K. as an elite obsession.

My abiding memory of the last 7-8 years of Twitter is the Labour right's outriders (if you know them you know them) reposting UnHerd articles, joking about with Spectator writers, and sneering with incredulity at the idea of structural racism. Fundamentally, they're right wing
This is performance art. It's political discourse improv. It's like watching Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler acting shocked that a wrestler would distract the referee

Re: Graham Linehan
I would be happy if I never heard the name Graham Linehan again, but I do feel the need to comment, because the nature of a lot of the abuse trans people receive is straight up sexual harassment, but is not recognized as such because the victim is trans.
What Glinner is doing is sexual harassment.

Just for a second, take a step back, and remember that these are the actions of a 56 year old man towards a 17 year old girl.

Re: Graham Linehan
For some reason I've suddenly remembered those two Palestine activists who were convicted of harassment (later overturned on appeal) for filming themselves asking a Labour MP questions about Gaza.
Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'.
One wonders what *would*.

Graham Linehan cleared of harassment but guilty of criminal damage to trans activist's phone

The judge, the "journalists", the perpatrator are all in on it, they're all there to collectively lie about, misgender, and otherwise harass and throw slurs at a girl who's been harassed by a man in his mid 50s since she was 15 years old
It looks like that BBC page has been updated in the last few minutes, so that's no longer the last sentence. I think part of it has been moved to this paragraph in the middle of the article, and the age is no longer mentioned:

This seems like a case in point about how unevenly the press treats racism.
They used spurious racism accusations to destroy Jeremy Corbyn. Farage is on the other hand, despite his racism having been clear and obvious for ages is only now getting a little scrutiny.

Trevor Phillips proposes banning "remittances" (ie: imposing currency/exchange controls on international cash transfers by foreign nationals from Britain). He says this would disincentivise immigration, in a Times piece saying the Home Secretary needs to go [much] further
