'Disgusting' to say UK has two-tier justice system, attorney general tells BBC

UK's attorney general, Lord Hermer, rejects claims of a two-tier justice system in the country, dismissing the accusations as "disgusting" and "wrong." He emphasized the independence and integrity of the justice system in response to criticism following the 2024 riots. Lord Hermer, who had a low public profile before his cabinet appointment, defended his legal career and criticized attacks based on clients he represented as a human rights lawyer, asserting the importance of upholding professional obligations in the legal system.
