Are you taking the stance that men do get fair trials in the UK?
I'm taking the stance that no one is guaranteed a fair trial in the UK, or anywhere in the West, if your trial is at all politically sensitive.
Does that mean that you are taking the stance that this trial was fair?
I don't know who was right, the US jury or the UK judge. I have not looked into the facts myself, nor followed the trial.
But just because you do not like the result, does not automatically mean that the trial was unfair - that's what AH supporters say about the US case.
Because if a rich, famous, male star can't get a fair trial against a woman, then what chance does the average man have?
If the trial was prejudiced, then it depends on the prejudice. If it's to not undermine MeToo, then it means that the average man has a much better case, as his case is not reported on in the media.
I'm pleased that you find this stance reasonable. I'm trying to play a bit of devil's advocate, simply because I don't like that people claim courts are unfair when they go against them but fair when they agree with verdicts.
I think you misunderstood my initial comment. I was not making any comment on fairness or lack thereof, just challenging the blanket claim that "men" never get fair trials in England. If I steal something from a store, I do expect a fair trial, just as an example.
