It is the standard of journalism that has plummeted, rather than the legal system.
I remember the time when the Torygraph was a quality newspaper. No longer.
You get lots of these sorts of stories. A typical example is the 1 at 13:31. The Headline says "paedophile escaped deportation..." The reality? The Tribunal Judge at 1st instance ruled in his favour, whereupon the Home Office appealed and won. Which the article (as opposed to the Headline) admits
The 2nd type is the trivialisation of sensitive matters-like the "chicken nuggets" one. There would have been 100+ reasons given, both in favour and against deportation. There usually are. But the Telegraph just selects 1 for clickbait.
This is how bad it is getting. The Daily Mail is making most of its journalists redundant. And replacing them with the clickbait operatives of MailOnline.
Is the legal system perfect? Of course not. Never has been. Never will be. Makes important mistakes sometimes-just not on the trivial bases papers would have you believe.
Reminds me of my first mentor when I was starting out. 2 of his sayings were:-
"In our adversarial legal system, 1 man's justice requires another man's injustice". And
"I really miss the days when the Solicitor was the only man in the village who could read and write"
Denmark’s ‘zero refugee’ mission – and what lessons Starmer can learn

What they can all read and write now?
I thought that they only had to learn to add up "How much can I get away with charging for this".
Or taking away "How much will I have left from your bill payment after I pay for my new Roll Royce".
