Lifelong learning and experimentation are the keys to success.

If we can't fail
If we can't iterate
If we can't give it a go

We've failed before we've ever started

You have to be willing to evolve.

To grow
To try
and try again

Just remember - one step at a time.
That's all it takes
Just go!

Confused about gov's strategy to reduce Crown Court backlog. They want to take lowest level cases out of Crown Ct to reduce delays in cases like rape. But new policing bill pushes shoplifting offences from mags court into the Crown Ct. Impact assessment says move will create >2000 new Crown Ct cases

Via FOI we'd found out that people who committed childhood offences (under age 18) have to declare them in DBS checks decades later - a 70 year old had to declare obstructing a constable as a teenager & a 67 year old to disclose shoplifting committed before 1973 www.thetimes.com/article/291a...

Call for reform of criminal record disclosures as people who have not transgressed since the 1960s are made to explain minor offences

Criminal Justice could be an opportunity for society to reshape its culture into one of compassion, kindness and love - whether we take the opportunity or not, is up to each and everyone of us

It's always a pleasure to teach our cohort how to use AI to improve their everyday lives

Honestly, it's like giving people the key to the future- you can turn your ideas into tangible products, services and businesses through the use of natural language.

We live in a magical world!
