Two Tier Keir Strikes Again

The legal system doesn’t work like that.

A first time offender might get a suspended, a career criminal not so much

Deary deary me.

A complete lack of understanding in what I actually meant.

Perhaps you thought pre-sentencing reports should be withheld for brown people?
Could you enlighten?

Perhaps you could comment on why they should be withheld for white men routinely as per the new policy.

FWIW the policy is all but dead anyway.

The government is going to legislate. It sounds like it will be much narrower than Jenrick's proposal. Basically, it will just override this one guideline.

The new legislation comes in response to a row over how ethnic minority offenders should be sentenced.

It’s odd for the sentencing council choose to fight such a clearly losing battle. They must realise, individually, they have placed a target on their back.

They were clearly playing for time in their fake reconsidering of the policy.

 

[MNW67]

My thoughts exactly.

Has this story just fizzled out. This is the latest I could find. It's a bit of an anti-climax.

Minister to review sentencing council after 'two-tier' row

It comes after ministers introduced a law overriding new guidelines on minority offender sentencing.
