Two-tier justice’ as ethnic minority criminals to get special treatment in courts
Judges told to consider additional information on select group of offenders before passing sentence

Robert Jenrick, the shadow justice secretary, said the guidance was “completely outrageous” and enshrined a “double standard,.. is set to have an anti-white and anti-Christian bias,” he said.
Shabana Mahmood, the Justice Secretary, wrote to the Sentencing Council urging it to reverse its changes to the guidance and registering her “displeasure”.

Who is making these rules if not Labour or Conservatives? Both parties disagree with it, how is it happening?
Today's world is so confusing!

I'm interested in your username, Tauranga. Winston Peters, is that you? It's the kind of incendiary rubbish click bait he's always good for, back in NZ.

Ps I see you are good at calling names and using jargon to talk down to people rather than engage. You may be called Jacinda???

Oh yes, that's me.
I think the reaction to this information is bonkers.
If you punch someone to death you get a different sentence depending on your wealth, your religion, or your gender identity.

Is this OK with you?
I thought the law was the law.
Our Justice Secretary agrees with me!

Yawn, a poor bait thread. Bet you didn't even read or look into the drivil you posted. Mumsnet needs to ban people spreading false info

I am not sure what the above posters mean...
Neither party Labour or Conservative want this to happen.
Labour Justice Secretary is really angry, Shabana Mahmood, and has asked for this not to happen.

How is it happening and why?

Did you actually read the article you posted? You don’t think a judge should be aware if someone has been a victim of trafficking, before sentencing?

New sentencing guidance means it will be "less likely" for ethnic minorities and faith minority communities to receive a custodial sentence.

Labour are literally EMBEDDING two-tier sentencing into our justice system.

Starmer is a traitor.

It's quite a day on MN today...lots of threads benefit bashing and now ethnic minorities...
