The British Sentencing Council has decided that starting Tuesday, white men will be sentenced to longer prison sentences than women and ethnic minorities.
From Tuesday, new judicial guidelines in the United Kingdom will introduce sentencing policies that apply differential treatment based on ethnicity, gender, and age—leading to harsher punishments for white men compared to other groups in society.
Under the updated guidelines, judges will prepare pre-sentencing reports where necessary for defendants from ethnic, cultural, or faith minorities, as well as young people under 25, women, and pregnant women. Historically, such reports have resulted in mitigated sentences, including reduced jail time. The practical implication of these changes is that white men, who do not qualify for these reports, will face relatively harsher sentencing outcomes.
I’m not sure that any Brit, ever again, can accuse anyone else of being a racist.
Maybe conservative white males should go on strike in UK, or for that matter here in the USA for a while to protest this outrage, and watch the struck society come to a halt within days as communication, transport, supply lines, power supply, water supply, hospitals, factories all shut down or break down and panic and chaos ensue.
According to the Leftist narrative, the DEI folks who invented everything, founded the USA and built the Egyptian pyramids are perfectly capable of doing everything better than those white males.
We’d see reality pretty damned quick.
The racist sentencing guidelines have been suspended.

…but not repealed.
My simple test for deciding if something is racist is to simply flip the criteria. If you’d be uncomfortable giving mitigated sentences to “defendants from ethnic, cultural, or faith MAJORITIES” instead of MINORITIES, or “people OVER 25” rather than UNDER, or MEN rather than WOMEN, then it’s a bad idea.
That’s similar to the test I came up with during the whole St. Floyd/BLM kerfuffle for determining whether something “matters” or not. If the thing or person or group in question disappeared, what would be the effect on the rest of us? If all member of Group X (Muzzies, blacks, alphabet people, straight White men, etc.) were to disappear, would the effects on humanity at large be positive, negative, or non-existent?
I leave the answer to that question for each listed (any any other) group as an exercise for the reader.
Okay, I’ve completely lost count. Just how many tiers of injustice does the UK have now?
