The assassination of Charlie Kirk is a shocking and evil moment and I condemn it and all political violence in the strongest terms. As political violence becomes more common place in democratic countries, it is deeply worrying to see that there are those celebrating this death.

This should be a surprise to no one who has ever suffered the misfortune of having to work with HMCTS.

Is anyone really surprised about how spectacularly Trump and Musk's relationship has fallen apart? This is what nearly every political commentary I have read or listened to had predicted would happpen. The only surprising aspect for me is that it took this long for the mud slinging to be begin.

At a time when the rule of law is under global attack, those electronic books people have made the Sunday Times bestseller #FakeLaw a Kindle Monthly Deal, a stonking 99p.

Those in power misrepresent the law to advance their own agendas.

Don’t let them lie to you.

Seriously, what is up with the Home Office placing asylum seekers in hotels in remote places with terrible phone reception? It’s too far to visit and they have no means to travel to see their solicitor. How are they to get adequate legal representation?

Why do we have such a ridiculous system in the UK that people wanting a doctor’s appointment have to call at 8am? What nonsense. Just book the flamin’ appointment! It’s a policy that makes seeing a doctor inaccessible. This should be banned.

Overstayers and failed asylum seekers do need to leave the country. It's not something to be celebrated but it is part of a functioning immigration system. Recording and publishing videos of people being deported is sick. It was sick in 2014 when Theresa May was doing and it's sick now.

Celtic Connections 2025 Kelvingrove Burns Night Concert was excellent. The music was amazing, even if I was exhausted from my early start this morning.

HMCTS is a mess. I cannot access appeal files. I login (never on the first attempt) and I am met with a blank white screen. Reported the problem and no change. This has been going on for days.

Some people in recent days have alleged a ‘cover-up’ over the grooming & rape of hundreds of young girls in predominantly northern UK towns, leading to calls for a ‘national’ public inquiry into child sexual exploitation

FWIW here’s a non-exhaustive list of inquiries into #CSE in last 12 yrs…

Apparently, Nigel Farage isn’t racist enough or fascist enough for Elon Musk. 😅🫢

Having not read the sentencing remarks, I’m cautious about rushing to conclusions, but on its face Feathers McGraw appears to be a prime example of the rampant sentence inflation that has led to chronic overcrowding in our zoos and the unedifying spectacle of animals being released early.
Curious to know whether
@barristersecret.bsky.social thinks 30 years behind bars for robbery and attempted murder was a fair sentence for Feathers McGraw? It seems a bit steep #WallaceAndGromit

OK so I watched ‘Mary’ on Netflix last night and I gotta say that movie is so bad it’s BAD!!! I don’t even recommend watching to see how bad it is. Not even Anthony Hopkins could save this dumpster fire.
