LABOUR IS CALLING FOR SEPARATE “COMMUNITY COURTS” FOR B.A.M.E. OFFENDERS!
Labour “Shadow
Justice Secretary”, David Lammy” has called for the creation of “community
courts” for the Black, Asian and Minority ethnic offenders to be dealt with
according to special segregated procedures.
He compares his vision with the Maori tribal specific courts in New Zealand
known as the “Rangatahi”.
Of course in New
Zealand those courts are for dealing with the indigenous people, in effect
tribal courts applying Maori laws and tribal customs in tribal reservation
areas. Calling for a reverse apartheid
court system in England is a very different proposition.
David Lammy is
infamous for is being an extreme spokesman of multi-culturalism.
If ever you wanted
an example of how multi-culturalists aim to break up the unity of England,
nothing could more clearly illustrate that aim than the Labour Shadow Justice
Secretary, i.e. Labour’s equivalent of the “Lord Chancellor” would be calling
for separate courts for their favoured client “communities”!
Here is the

Labour
has called for ‘community courts’ to tackle the increasingly disproportionate
number of black, Asian and minority ethnic people in the criminal justice
system.
David
Lammy, when he was a backbencher, recommended giving communities a greater
role in hearings involving first-time offenders in his
government-commissioned race review. Now, as shadow justice secretary, the
Tottenham MP has reiterated the need for community courts.
Lammy was
speaking at an event hosted by the Centre for Justice Innovation, a legal
thinktank, on the state of the youth court.
The event
heard that when Lammy completed his review, 41% of the children in prison were
black, Asian or minority ethnic in a country where these groups make up only
14% of the population. The prison figure is now 51%.
There are significant parts of the country, with significant BAME populations, where there is no BAME judge or magistrate in sight.’
The shadow Justice Secretary said a problem-solving approach was needed. ‘We need community courts, particularly for first and second-time offenders.’ He mentioned other countries that have adopted a community-based approach, such as New Zealand’s Rangatahi courts, which feature in his review.
Lammy highlighted another recommendation - to seal criminal records. Pointing out that people may have committed offending behaviour when they were young, he said it was a tragedy that ‘our system condemns young people to a life of crime because they cannot get a job or they have to declare their criminal record to every employer at every single stage of the process. I do not understand why our system is doing this.’
