I'm listening to LBC callers say that forcing the convict to attend their sentencing hearing 'smacks of medievalism'. All kinds of hell-fire would be unleashed if this law was overturned.

Yet in the US and other countries, convicts are forced to attend their sentencing hearings and the sky didn't fall. What is so fucking special about the UK?

They're discussing what the law should be, so by definition whatever they decide would be legal.
