@LizKershawDJ @helena_hhunter9 @ThaiAirways Hi liz - sorry you’re in the dark. The flight was cancelled. We were told this at 6pm. We were then told to queue up at the Thai airways ticket office at the airport (BKK) which we did and we were told next available flights to be put on.

[Ellen Lefley @EllenLefley]

@helena_hhunter9 @ThaiAirways Thanks for this - not getting anywhere on the @ThaiAirways phone line so if you are told anything do share on here if that’s ok 🙏

[Ellen Lefley @EllenLefley]

@helena_hhunter9 @ThaiAirways @ThaiAirways can you help us? Have some passengers been emailed with an offer of a hotel and not others? What is the update please? Thank you

[Ellen Lefley @EllenLefley]

@helena_hhunter9 @ThaiAirways Nope! How did they contact you about that? We have been waiting at the airport - just received an email saying wait for a 18:00 announcement and that’s what the duty at departures said too

🚨The Govt have published their legislation to repeal the #HumanRightsAct.

JUSTICE urges all parliamentarians to consider the consequences of passing such an ill-thought out, divisive and damaging piece of legislation. (1/6) 🧵

[JUSTICE @JUSTICEhq]

The Government wants to replace the #HumanRightsAct with a Bill of Rights, threatening your ability to hold the State to account.

We’re opposing each of its measures, and here’s why you should too → 🧵(1/13)

I hope the original owner of this this tweet @Damien_Meade won't mind if I borrow this to make a point - I've lived in China 17 years never seen anything like this. I was also a Met Police officer and served in Essex Police several years - still never saw anything like this

"LGBT rights has never been a sprint,” says Asquith. “It’s always been a marathon, and this is part of that marathon" well said @EnbyLawyer https://t.co/zlztdjLg6m

Not a mutant. Not a glitch. This is what algorithms do. They are not neutral. They entrench existing discrimination in society.

[Mark George @Mark_George_KC]

Any E&W criminal barristers who wd care to share their views on the Liverpool CC experiment in discriminatory sitting hours are invited to contact me at [email protected]
I'm particularly keen to get views of those on N or NE Circuit for now but all welcome. Thanks

[Ellen Lefley @EllenLefley]

Proud of @EnbyLawyer and supportive of this letter. The duty of impartiality IS NOT a duty to pander to complaints. If you are going to signpost support services, impartiality means upholding equal access to support IN SPITE OF those who would wish away such support services.

NEWS: we stand together to call on the @BBC to publicly explain its decision to remove trans organisations from its support page:

Abandon trial by jury? That would hardly restore trust in the justice system | Catherine Bennett https://t.co/ESjQyNlUkc

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

Quite how yesterday’s announcement that the government wants to remove the right to jury trial has not made the front page of every newspaper is beyond me.

[JUSTICE @JUSTICEhq]

JUSTICE supports trial by jury. The solution to get courts running is fully virtual trial, not judge without jury. Our test is fair - watch the recording and read the academic evaluation https://t.co/FE9BNdDRM4 @LordCFalconer @TheCriminalBar @thebarcouncil @TheLawSociety

[Charlie Falconer @LordCFalconer]

Say an absolute No to allowing jury trials to be replaced by judge and two magistrates. Terrible reduction in the diversity of who makes the decisions about guilt or innocence. Covid bad enough for BAME communities. Don’t make it worse.
