@jo_bartosch He once stood in Parliament, and went on Radio 4, to state that the average salary for legal interpreters was 'in 6 figures'. At the time the official figure was 25k. He wasn't challenged or corrected. An odious, lying scumbag.
A mugger who spent a week robbing people on the Tube is in the dock to be sentenced
Judge is here, lawyers are here, police are here, probation is here. I'm here
But the interpreter is not here
Adjourned to Jan
That's actual delay in the justice system
Someone should fix it

On Wed 18 Dec, we're talking to the Minister of State, Sarah Sackman KC MP, about our interpreting and translation services in the Courts inquiry. Watch here from 11am: https://t.co/8TbXD1Jrxb
Baroness Morris: people are suffering due to faults in #mojfwa. #mojfwa is badly going wrong and needs radical change. #1nt@sarahsackman says she very much looks forward to reading the psc's report, and she's not just saying that, she really does mean it! - Right yeah ok!
Sackman says 80 courts a year will be updated to accommodate AI and machine learning- implying that basic #1nt requirements like decent audio quality in @hmctsgovuk will just have to wait! #mojfwa
Sarah Sackman on AI in the courts and #1nt: recognise potential, also risks and sensitivities. Lodestar of Access to Justice (wtf does Lode star mean, someone please? If I ever have to interpret that word I don't want to be stuck) #mojfwa
Baroness Morris: kindly follow up in writing about pay; we seek it to be index linked across duration of contract. And also tell us about ££ for training. #1nt#mojfwa
#mojfwa What are market rates? What is the #1nt market? Will new pay rates be index linked to inflation. Answer: "price per quality point methodology." Bla bla, @hmctsgovuk holds forth unpersuasively about KPIs. "If that entails additional pay for Interpreters, then so be it"
Sarah Sackman struggling to know the difference between Interpreters and translators, but still confident to pontificate on why we are leaving our profession en masse: "Brexit" . So ignorant! #1nt#mojfwa
@sarahsackman Please don't patronise us. We're interpreters #1nt, not translators #xl8, we are here to assist you, but you will have to engage with our professional bodies if you are serious that we deserve proper remuneration #mojfwa
2/2 talk about complaining about #1nt but complaints about @@hmctsgovuk. Sarah Sackman appreciates what #1nt do, but is now disrespecting the English language by talking about star lodes again. #mojfwa
