Nearly a decade ago David Lammy wrote a review of the judicial system that concluded judge only trials were skewed against non-white defendants; now these findings have been used to argue that Lammy should review the danger of increasing racism in the judicial system throughout his planned reduction in jury trials..... which in fairness he had agreed to do (latterly)

Its also an index of how being in Govt. shifts one's priorities, I guess.
