LW just wrote this on substack...
So, the proposals get worse and worse. But in their atrocity, people must notice the problem with allowing the state to decide which trials will get a jury and which will not... which offences will be sequestered away from scrutiny by the people, and which will not, and in that noticing, the people must begin to realise that this is what has been happening for a long, long time - that the slippery slope began a considerable time ago, and now we appear to be at the finalé of that slippery slope. And when you realise this, you know that the solution is in reclamation and restoration of authentic trial by jury for all cases, across the land.

Please read this again and again - and then remember the argument so that you can re-express it to others.
