“Today I met @TheCriminalBar and @thebarcouncil

Great work @seifertbenj and thank you Professor Greenhalgh!
Why are we not all asked to wear masks/ face coverings?
✅ Simple
✅ Worn properly - reduces risk

There is a lot, but I think the biggest injustice is the Innocence Tax. This means that if you're accused of a crime, the govtcan refuse you legal aid, force you to pay privately and then refuse to reimburse your costs when you are acquitted. #klssecret
