That CeauΘ™escu moment The British government has come down hard on climate protesters, but juries are finding the courage to uphold justice again.

My piece on the counteroffensive of juries against authoritarian attempts to restrict their right to reach verdicts based on conscience, irrespective of threats of contempt of court. #JPMorgan6 #MediaRevolution

Unfortunately IPSOβ€”without Press Recognition Panel approvalβ€”consists of editors policing their own papers, effectively marking their own homework. You’ll likely be told β€œopinion” pieces are exempt from accuracy protocols- a consistently employed get out of jail free card

Once, this kind of rhetoric could land editors in gaol. The Serious Crime Act 2007 made β€˜encouraging an offence’ a crimeβ€”even if no crime followed. Section 59 later gutted that safeguard, giving commentators a β€˜get out of jail free’ card whatever the consequences of their rhetoric.
