The Ordinary Elite is a Scottish podcast brought to you from Glasgow by John McGovern and Mike Dailly. Both are Solicitor Advocates - John a criminal defence lawyer and Mike a civil litigation practitioner and social justice campaigner. In our 12th episode of Season 4, we're joined by Dean M Thomson, a lecturer in logic and philosophy with Beijing Normal - Hong Kong Baptist University, United International College (UIC). Dean has written an essay entitled, "Why Labour Hates Juries: The Unmanageable Heart of English Liberty". We examine Labour's longstanding desire to abolish trial by jury in England and Wales - which is also an issue that many MSPs at Holyrood appear to favour too. We ask why do our politicians hate juries?
