Criminal barrister @5KBW. Prosecutes & defends serious & organised crime, international crime, romance fraud. Rather fed up with living in interesting times.

Extraordinary case in which fake citations/authorities were seemingly relied on by Solicitor & Counsel in a Judicial Review:

Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals aren’t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.

For those falling for the outrage (campaign to demonise Jess Philips), by the Tories, the 7 years public enquiry into child abuse/grooming gangs which covered Rotherham, was published in 2022. Tories enacted none of the recommendations.

Jess Philips is a committed and caring minister, and you, sir, are a toxic gonad. The UK is not your plaything, wealth doesn’t exempt you from international law, and owning X doesn’t give you license to poison the discourse of any country whose government you disagree with.

@opinion8ed_dyke Yeah, we're going to have to find an expensive alternative, can't carry on like this, but makes you wonder how @BritishGasHelp justify charging for a HomeCare policy then providing this level of appalling service.

[Charlotte Hole @CharlotteHole]

@BritishGasHelp Please advise why you think it is acceptable to leave us without hot water until - apparently - 31st December? Your own website reads "A total loss of heating or hot water is an emergency"

[Charlotte Hole @CharlotteHole]

@BritishGasHelp - how do I heat hot water with £60 worth of fan heaters?

Luckily your agent had some great advice on the live chat:

This week’s newsletter is about developing a felt sense of patriarchal harm - the body keeps the score - and, in response, a sense of feminism as a practice.

@graceyldn According to Uber it's absolutely fine!
Makes you wonder what the point of giving the driver's details is at all.

Where have all the criminal barristers gone? By Joanna Hardy-Susskind | COUNSEL | The Magazine of the Bar of England and Wales https://t.co/lnRhImehAw

[Charlotte Hole @CharlotteHole]

Absolutely fantastic news.

[Deka Chambers @DekaChambers]

The King has appointed Claire Harden-Frost (@harden_claire) to be a Circuit Judge on the advice of the Lord Chancellor, the Right Honourable Shabana Mahmood MP, and the Lady Chief Justice of England and Wales, the Right Honourable the Baroness Carr of Walton-on-the-Hill.

The Lady Chief Justice has deployed her to the South Eastern Circuit, based at Guildford Crown, with effect from 6 January 2025.

Claire will be known as Her Honour Judge Harden-Frost. She was called to the Bar (Middle Temple) in 2000 and was appointed a Recorder in 2022.

Everyone at Deka congratulates Claire on her appointment.

"I can list numerous women among my acquaintances who've discovered that their male partners were living secret lives...[in which they were] sabotaging their wives' lives."

I wrote about Dominique Pélicot & men who get off on secretly destroying their wives. Link is in my bio.

[The Dalbo Dog @Dalbodog]

Did you know:
If you have a pacemaker, you can put it in your Will to have your pacemaker donated to a dog in need after you pass. Pacemakers cannot be donated to another human, but they can be donated to dogs with cardiac issues who would depend on it to stay alive.
You can have the pacemaker brought to a vet of your choice. So many of those get thrown away and dogs die because people don't know they can do this. It even saves the dog's owner the cost of the actual pacemaker which sometimes means the difference in being able to afford lifesaving treatment or not.

On this day in 1888, a destitute woman, the daughter of a blacksmith, the wife of a printer, a Londoner, a servant, a homeless person wandered out onto the streets of Whitechapel and met her unfortunate end. Her name was Mary Ann ‘Polly’ Nichols.
