//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.

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.//

Common sense prevails - for the time being.

"The Council, made up of some of the most senior legal figures in England and Wales, was adamant that the guidelines would have helped address disparities between how different ethnicities are treated in the justice system." - I don't understand what "disparities" they are talking about. Sounds like the old "white privilige" carp. They spout this rowlocks yet not a single law has anything mentioning different treatment by any ethnicity.

More like special pleading because they is black/brown/swarthy and have different cultural norms to whitey mcwhiteface and should therefore have their own set of rules.

Anyway, back-burnered so we'll just have to revert to letting them go with a warning couched in such a way that they know they're special and they can carry on shoplifting and generally fleecing the country with impunity.

12:40 in summary..."It's da cultcha..innit?"

A government doing the right sensible thing !?!?

 

Has it gone midday yet ?

The problem is they will just go ahead and do it anyway.

About time the bloba and the "law" learnt to understand they were not elected to Govern and make rules and laws.

And this liberal elites need to under stand that to end racism it mean both ways otherise harmoney will never be achieved.

It's almost as if the elites want to cause division.

The vast majority of those shop lifting I have seen being filmed on the news appear to be dare i say but people of colour.
