From Blair to Lammy: The Slow-March to Communist Courts Must Be Stopped NOW

In one of the most brazen of a career of foolhardy actions, Labour’s David Lammy want to scrap jury trials for most crimes. This is a direct assault on an 800-year-old cornerstone of English and British justice, enshrined in Magna Carta since 1215, guaranteeing trial by our peers. It’s fundamentally unconstitutional, eroding the safeguards of our common law that protect citizens from arbitrary state power.

This didn’t start overnight. Tony Blair and his Fabian Society allies began chipping away at it decades ago, curtailing the right to elect jury trials for ‘either-way’ offences and pushing for judge-only hearings in complex cases through the 2003 Criminal Justice Act. Magistrates’ courts—already jury-free for summary offences—saw their powers expanded, setting the stage for this full-frontal attack. Now, under Labour, they’re accelerating towards total control, sidelining the people in favour of unelected, politicised judges.

It’s anti-democratic, anti-freedom, and reeks of a drive towards Communist-style domination where the state dictates ‘justice’ without public scrutiny.

Why is this so utterly wrong? Jury trials ensure ordinary citizens, not just elites, hold the scales of justice—preventing bias, upholding fairness, and checking government overreach. Removing them hands more power to the establishment, silencing the voice of the people and paving the way for miscarriages of justice. Historically, this right has been the bedrock of our liberties; constitutionally, its removal cannot be permitted without betraying the principles that define Britain.

Worse still, this wasn’t in Labour’s 2024 manifesto—they snuck it in post-election, despite securing votes from less than 20% of eligible British citizens. No mandate for such a radical upheaval!

How to fight back? Two robust actions:

1.      Join the Free Speech Union (freespeechunion.org) to defend our freedoms—they’re leading the charge against this tyranny.

2.      Write to your constituency MP today, expressing your fury—find their details at parliament.uk.
