but why the Old Bailey? - you can transfer court on application if for example judgie-baby agrees you wont get a fair trial

couzens opted for jury trial because 60% are acquitted and magistrates (ah bless) ten to bang their gavel and scream
gulty guilty guilty

I have no idea why they are indicting a lifer - but hey I am not one of the Great and Good running this country

I blame Brexit. Or Johnson. Or even possibly Thatcher.

I suspect one of ‘em will be blamed.
