In this explosive interview, I sit down with the Black Belt Barrister to uncover a “shadowy cabal” that effectively creates our laws without being answerable to the public. SUPPORT MY GUEST: Follow @BlackBeltBarrister We dive deep into the most controversial cases of the year - from the shocking disparity between riot sentencing and sex offender leniency to the truth behind the Lucy Connolly case. Why do some offenders get 31 months for a social media post while others escape prison for heinous crimes? We also explore the “fear of getting it wrong” within the police force, the secret influence of the Sentencing Council, and why the Equality Act might need a complete “blank slate” reboot. This is the conversation about the British legal system that the mainstream media is too afraid to have.
