Sexist.
Spot the difference: Court Reform Gov benches: Women fighting for swifter justice for victims let down by those opposite Opposition: Men in suits clinging on to a Magna Carta myth… Glad to be on side of @sarahsackman & gov, fighting for victims already failed for too long

There is no 'common ground' between Right and Wrong These people were always extremists. 'Extreme Compromise' is still extreme.
‘We’re living in a version of Britain where people don’t even try to find common ground.’ Former Tory @JustineGreening takes a stand against the division that has ‘gridlocked’ the grooming gangs inquiry.

I'm proud to not be a Criminal Barrister.
The weirdo Barrister suggested the youngest rapist once free could ‘build a life for himself in the UK’ I mean how reassuring for girls and women! Come illegally, rape a child, and then build a life in the UK! Fucked up doesn’t begin to describe it!!

This is how sick and evil our country has become
🚨 Ex-Royal Marine Jamie Michael needs your help! He’s been banned from coaching his own daughter’s football team because of his “right-wing views” — even after a jury cleared him of “stirring up racial hatred” in just 17 minutes. His Labour-run council’s safeguarding board

The Romans used Guard Geese 😊
Police say a man was taken into custody last night after attempting to steal a goose from a local park but the goose took care of the situation long before officers arrived. When police reached the scene, they found the man sprawled on the ground, shouting for help, while the

"It is not for barristers and judges to make political decisions on the release of this kind of information." It is not. Nor is it the place of lawyers to seek to manage voters. Voters are Masters, lawyers are servants.
We really need to end this culture of secrecy in the courts. The suspects have only been named because the Mail sued the court to force the end of reporting restrictions. It is not for barristers and judges to make political decisions on the release of this kind of information.
