I’m still digesting the detail.
But let one thing remain clear:
The removal of jury trial from thousands of accused people is being proposed not from principle. Nor necessity.
But because successive governments - of all parties - chose to take a chainsaw to the justice system.
Horrific stories like this, from lifelong Blues, are part of the reason we will be protesting and leafleting tomorrow vs Wolves. How can any City supporter be okay with this?
The club's ticketing policy is not fit for purpose & they're making it even more restrictive next year.

At a rape trial today our client was found not guilty in a matter of minutes in relation to a case that the CPS had initially declined to prosecute. Any politically motivated increase in the number of rape prosecutions will simply lower the conviction rate.

50% off food and drink @ManCity today. Shame they forgot to order any. What a shambles on day one. Let’s hope that the guys on the pitch do better than the caterers!
