UK Abandon’s the Rule of Law; Adopts Rule of Multicult! By Richard Miller (Londonistan)
The Daily Sceptic article:
exposes a seismic shift in Britain's criminal justice system, spotlighting new sentencing guidelines from the Sentencing Council that instruct judges to consider an offender's ethnic minority or transgender status before passing sentence. Authored by Frederick Attenborough, the piece frames this as a blatant institutionalisation of "two-tier justice," where certain groups—specifically ethnic minorities and transgender individuals—are slated for preferential treatment via pre-sentence reports (PSRs). These reports, compiled by the probation service, provide courts with background details that often mitigate against custodial sentences, potentially leading to suspended terms or community punishments instead of jail time. The guidelines, set to take effect on April 1, 2025, mandate that such reports "normally be considered necessary" for offenders from "an ethnic minority, cultural minority, and/or faith minority community," as well as those who disclose transgender identity. Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick, quoted in the article, slams this as "completely outrageous," arguing it enshrines a "double standard" that discriminates against straight, White, Christian men—a charge echoed by Tory critics who see it as an "anti-white and anti-Christian bias" corroding public trust.
The Sentencing Council defends the move, claiming it ensures courts have "the most comprehensive information available" to tailor sentences effectively, addressing "disparities in sentencing outcomes" and "disadvantages faced within the criminal justice system." Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, however, distanced herself from the policy, declaring it misaligned with her views and those of the Labour government. "As someone from an ethnic minority background myself, I do not stand for any differential treatment before the law," she insisted, vowing to urge the Council to reverse the guidance—a promise that rings hollow given her inability to directly override the independent body. The article suggests this is more than a procedural tweak; it's a symptom of a broader ideological drift under Keir Starmer's premiership, dubbed "Two-Tier Keir" by detractors. Posts on X amplify this unease, with users like @mitchins2020 calling it "the very definition of two-tier justice," predicting harsher treatment for white offenders.
The outrage over this development is visceral and justified, for it rips apart the bedrock of British law: equality before the scales of justice. That a nation once proud of its impartial courts now flirts with a system where your skin colour, faith, or gender identity can tip those scales, is a betrayal of every citizen who trusted in fairness. Imagine the gall—judges told to pause and ponder an offender's "minority status" as if it's a get-out-of-jail-free card, while the White working-class lad from Leeds gets no such courtesy. This isn't justice; it's a rigged game, a grotesque caricature of equality that mocks the very principle it claims to uphold. The Sentencing Council's mealy-mouthed excuse about "disparities" doesn't wash—since when did two wrongs make a right? If ethnic minorities face harsher outcomes, the fix isn't to hand them a softer deal; it's to root out bias across the board, not codify it into law.
Worse, this policy reeks of Starmer's spineless pandering, a Labour government so desperate to appease progressive lobbies that it's willing to fracture the nation's moral core. China's surveillance state, which Trump recently likened to Starmer's Britain, at least owns its authoritarianism—here, we get the same erosion of rights wrapped in sanctimonious fluff. Jenrick's right to call it corrosive; public faith in justice was already battered by scandals like the grooming gangs cover-up, where Starmer, as former DPP, dodged accountability. Now, he oversees a system poised to let some criminals skate because of their identity, while others rot for the same crime. The hypocrisy is suffocating—Mahmood's pledge of "no two-tier sentencing" is laughable when the guidelines scream otherwise.
This isn't progress; it's a descent into tribalism, where the law bends for the favored few and snaps the rest in half. Britain deserves better than this shameful charade.
