Me too cowboy, time to get rid of all of the do gooders and get professional judges just as they do in every other civilised country

32 years of prosecuting and defending in Magistrates’ and Crown Courts all over the country has given me a little understanding of the justice system in England and wales and what the problems are !

The backlog is caused by other inefficiencies and lack of funding.

This is why we need more District Judges . This is 2024 and Lay Magistrates are an expensive anachronism given how slow they are which of course adds to the ever increasing backlog of cases being dealt with.
