Yesterday, 304 MPs voted to advance the Courts and Tribunals Bill... which would restrict jury trials in England and Wales to offences likely to attract sentences of 3+ years, effectively scrapping them for thousands of cases I can't believe what's happening to my country Jury trials are one of the oldest continuously surviving features of our legal system, with roots stretching back over 1,000 years Scrapping or restricting jury trials *in any way* directly assaults the core civil liberties that have defined English + British identity for centuries Contact your MP today. This erosion of justice must be stopped. The Magna Carta (1215): "No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgment of his equals or by the law of the land."
