Just thrilled to have your support for @KidsLawInfo project 🌟

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

I did an interview with the brilliant team at @KidsLawInfo. This is such a good project, demystifying and opening up a justice system which has for too long been completely alienating for young people. Alma-Constance and @LMAcland are utterly fantastic.

wonder if this aligns with 'lifestyle choices' interpretation of girls by police and social services who were targeted by grooming gangs - not criminalised of course but they were at fault ?

'....court wardship for terrorism cases petered out in or around 2016. Since then, narratives of deception or coercion have given way to vilification and prosecution of children....'

[Dr Felicity Gerry KC @felicitygerry]

The UK is currently experiencing the highest levels of juvenile terrorism prosecutions in history, with 42 children arrested in the last year alone (Home Office 2025b).

Former Resident Judge of Woolwich Crown Court HHJ Chris Kinch KC nails the argument against the curtailment of jury trials

Short & sweet, & hits the nail right on the head

This will be an interesting listen- podcasts /show that explain current #Legal events - there are many from USA but seem to be few elsewhere. I don't mean the #truecrime genre but real life events - to explain law and procedure

Interesting result - daily downloads increased many fold - albeit from 5 to 65 .... I'll take it!

Thinking about how podcast clips change meaning once they’re removed from long-form context
Short-form audio isn’t just editing — it’s editorial decision-making.
What do you think gets lost (or gained) when podcasts move onto social platforms?

5️⃣0️⃣ years ago today

Barbara Castle's Equal Pay Act becomes law.

After decades of campaigning, it enabled women to make a claim for equal pay if they did the same job as a man.

Castle hoped it would “raise expectations” for women in society and the workplace.

[Lucinda Acland @LMAcland]
