The T Word

Ending Trial by Jury? NHS Chaos & The UK’s Broken System


Listen Later

Join Justine and Gaz for another lively episode of The T Word as they discuss the week's biggest stories.


In this week's episode of The T-Word, we're diving into three massive issues plaguing Britain right now. First up, David Lammy's proposal to scrap trial by jury to clear court backlogs - but is removing this fundamental cornerstone of British justice really the answer, or just another sticking plaster over chronic underfunding? Justine breaks down the Levinson Report and explains why the real problem isn't jury trials, it's lack of investment in the justice system itself.
