@JRLevinsLaw @Jebadoo2 Perhaps it’s because in most cases, the tribunal of fact is also the tribunal of law AND a lay person.

@Jebadoo2 But what does that tell us? Certainly not that the mags are getting 40% of those decisions wrong, because there's no need to establish any error by the mags to succeed on appeal. It's a trite point that different tribunals can reasonably reach different conclusions.

Almost every other type of appeal — whether criminal or civil — is subject to a permission stage. An unfettered right to a complete re-hearing is a Rolls Royce standard, and I don't understand the case for providing it only to those convicted in the mags.

Re-examining - from scratch - a summary conviction can be important, consequential work. The government want to introduce this set of spectacularly bad ideas instead 👇🏼

@owenjonesjourno @Captain_JRM The protocol is to save lives. It’s the primary police duty. And as ours are not armed and the taser had already been deployed, officers are entitled to use reasonable force in the circs. All sane people agree that their actions were reasonable and frankly remarkably restrained

@Captain_JRM Let me get this straight. If police see someone they think might be carrying explosives, then protocol is to kick them in the head repeatedly to stop them detonating the explosives? Please tell me from a position of knowledge - is that actually protocol?

Hold on - what? If police officers think someone might be carrying explosives, protocol is to kick them in the head repeatedly like this? Is that actual police protocol? If so, how is it a wise police protocol? Can someone explain the reasoning?
Sky News@SkyNews

.@KamaliMelbourne: 'The video of the Golders Green terror attack arrest shows the officers kicking this individual in the head. Is that appropriate force to use?' Met Police Commissioner: "In most situations it wouldn't be reasonable, but in that situation it was reasonable."

A lot of words this morning at Eddie Howe press conference that can be summed up neatly and quickly. If he wins some football games between now and the end of May he will still be manager next season #nufc

Profound words from @POTUS this morning: "Long before Americans had a nation or a Constitution, we first had a culture, a character, and a creed. Before we ever proclaimed our Independence, Americans carried within us the rarest of gifts — moral courage — and it came from a small but mighty kingdom across the sea. For nearly two centuries before the Revolution, this land was settled and forged by men, women who bore in their souls the blood and noble spirit of the British. Here, on a wild and untamed continent, they set loose the ancient English love of liberty and Great Britain's distinctive sense of glory, destiny, and pride — and that's what it is, glory, destiny, and pride. The American Patriots who pledged their lives to Independence in 1776 were the heirs to this majestic inheritance. Their veins ran with Anglo-Saxon courage. Their hearts beat with an English faith in standing firm for what is right, good, and true. In recent years we have often heard it said that America is merely 'an idea' — but the cause of freedom did not simply appear as an intellectual invention of 1776. The American founding was the culmination of hundreds of years of thought, struggle, sweat, blood, and sacrifice on both sides of the Atlantic. Fate drew a long arc from the meadow at Runnymede to the streets of Philadelphia that ran through the lives of people born and bred on the British code that 'no man should be denied either justice or right.' American Patriots today can sing 'My Country 'Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty' only because our colonial ancestors first sang 'God Save the King.'"

.@POTUS: "Honoring the British King might seem an ironic beginning to our celebration of 250 years of American independence — but in fact, no tribute could be more appropriate. Long before Americans had a nation or Constitution, we first had a culture, a character, and a creed. Before we ever proclaimed our independence, Americans carried within us the rarest of gifts: moral courage, and it came from a small but mighty kingdom from across the sea."

Whoever wrote this for Trump has a deep understanding of American liberty. It didn’t magically appear in 1776. It was developed in our shared language over a millennium. The revolutionaries saw themselves as Englishmen, asserting their ancient liberties.
