Haven't heard about "combined justice centres" in awhile. They were supposed to be the solution to court delays and holding suspects. Seems relevant with the "single justice procedure" being a government priority.

The plans to limit jury trials in England and Wales
The Law ShowThe courts system in England and Wales is in an unprecedented crisis. The backlog has reached 80,000 cases, and some defendants are being told they won't be able to have a criminal trial until 2030.
The government has introduced the Courts and Tribunals Bill, which contains a raft of measures to tackle delays and bring down the backlog; but the Justice Secretary David Lammy has admitted that things are going to get even worse before they get better.
The most controversial change is a plan to restrict the number of jury trials. The right to judgement by your peers has existed for more than 800 years, but for some offences, that's going to end.
Defendants will lose the right to choose between a jury trial or a magistrate's hearing in so-called "either-way" offences.
Magistrates will get increased sentencing powers - up from 12 months to 18 months.
More serious criminal cases, with likely sentences of up to three years will now be heard by a single judge - and no jury.
And only the most serious "indictable" offences, like murder, manslaughter and rape and any other offence with a sentence of longer than three years will be heard by a jury.
But will the reforms make a difference?

Fictional Creation of the Fictional Judge System in Real Life Judge Dredd
The Judge System was created by David Lammy, then Secretary of State for Justice and Deputy Prime Minister of Tottenham street crime, between 2025 and 2031, to combat a rising tide of imaginary terrorism and to speed up the process of injustice. While there was heavy protest in all places where there are sane people over the idea of abandoning due process, the electorate was in favour and Dictator Keith Stalin (who supported Lammy's plan) was re-elected with a massive majority.
... yeah, right ... lol ...
The original uniforms heavily resembled those of normal Bobbies, albeit with busbies and heavy boob armour, and they rode ChatGPT powered Segways. Following the Third World War of 2032 and discovering that Dictator Keith Stalin had stolen the election (... oh ... now that 2024 election makes sense), the Judges seized power.

The "Israeli #hostage solidarity badge" is, or at least has become, a pro #genocide (and pro #apartheid, pro settler colonialism etc.) symbol. Even Benjamin #Netanyahu is wearing it and everybody knows that he doesn't give a damn about the people in #Gaza, whether they are Palestinian or Israeli/Jewish.
It was right to take it off, it's wrong to ever put it (back) on.
Wear a 🍉 badge instead!
Elyon Levy and Arsen #Ostrovsky … 🤣

“This party is a moral crusade or it is nothing.” - Harold Wilson, 1962
I wonder if David Lammy (bombing refugee camps is ok) or Keir Starmer (cutting off all supplies to besieged people is ok) have ever heard of that guy Wilson. He was quite important… twice Prime Minister and all.
Just as some people (not me…!) seemed to be moving on from the Blair years and the Iraq war, Labour helpfully reminds everyone that they have no moral compass whatsoever.
