UK dictatorship is attempting to scrap jury trials – Who really benefits?

 “Democracy” means governance exercised through the Rule of Law administered by the people through jury-led trials. So, the UK government’s recent attempt to scrap jury trials is wholly anti-democratic, Iain Davis writes.

In a two-part series of articles, Davis explains what the UK dictatorship is and how we can work together to resist it using the Rule of Law. The following is Part 1.

In Part 1, he discusses the UK’s representative democracy which is a functional oligarchy controlled by a global public-private partnership, with the government serving the interests of global corporations. Abolishing jury-led trials is just the latest in a series of ploys this global public-private partnership is enacting through the UK government.

Recently, the Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary, David Lammy, announced that the UK government is planning to scrap jury trials for all but suspected murder, manslaughter and rape cases. The push-back has been considerable, but we are supposed to believe that the only place where resistance has any meaningful chance of success is in Parliament.

This is not true, and over this and the next article we’ll consider why it isn’t. In doing so, we will hopefully develop a collective understanding of what the UK dictatorship is and how we can work together to resist it using the Rule of Law.

Seeing as “democracy” means governance exercised through the Rule of Law administered by the people through jury-led trials, the UK government’s attempt to scrap jury trials is wholly anti-democratic. That said, the so-called “representative democracy” we currently endure is not democracy, so it is naive to expect it to be democratic. Anti-democratic policies are entirely in keeping with “representative democracy.”

Democracy has nothing to do with electing anyone to any kind of political office or any other position of claimed authority. In a democracy, authority is wielded equally by each and every sovereign person – every single one of us – through jury-led trials with the power to annul legislation. There is no higher earthly authority in a democracy than a sovereign person restoring justice through a jury-led trial.

Representative democracy (“RD”) is not the best sociopolitical system in an imperfect world, as we are constantly educated to believe. Democracy, for example, could be much better...<<<Read More>>>....
