@EscapedHere Yes that word seems to have crept in the CJS and it grates.

People worry about multiculturalism & yet the soft power of American culture seeps into our language, public discourse, and civic/politics daily.
Silly things too: trying to find British based GIFs

Can't stand it when people say "my legal team" like they have some American legal firm lined up with briefcases for a voluntary interview at a police station in Burnley.

@yuanyi_z My late and great tutor, Jose Harris, made me the person I am today albeit by means of some of the most withering if accurate comments 😬

[Mary Aspinall-Miles @MAMBarLife]

@yuanyi_z can I ask a daft question about the Arday situation please? Was none of his work peer reviewed? Did he publish work?

[Mary Aspinall-Miles @MAMBarLife]

@grantallen1988 @yuanyi_z The part that hit Isaac Newton ? *

@FinanceDirCFO Did his name die in vain with apologies to Magna Carta…

@grantallen1988 @yuanyi_z Think it may depend on the area ?

[Mary Aspinall-Miles @MAMBarLife]

@yuanyi_z Thank you - come from a family with a background of hard science so have an inkling about that arena. Guess in social sciences, a lot more must be taken on trust & honesty.

And as for history academia, will opt to go “no comment” but wow it can be vicious.

@prossertj This seems to sum up at least one of the issues perhaps ?

“You are not encouraged…to engage with the substance of their scholarship…you are invited to clap. Instead of his appointment conjuring the question “what new opportunities for research will this lead to?”, it was “doesn’t this make you feel good?” https://t.co/sntGE5lelG

“The government is asking in the probation service to bale out the prison service” : therein lies the problem

Dear Newspaper sub-editors, it’s “Historic” sexual offences not “Historical”.

Though we are now meant to use the phrase “Non-recent”.

The ADHD dream career is being a professional "idea generator" who sits in a room for 1 hour, solves everyone else's complex workflow bottlenecks with chaotic lateral thinking, and then vanishes into thin air before anyone asks for a written report.

@Smuge15 @NotThatBigIan @james_e_b_ Nice words.

[Mary Aspinall-Miles @MAMBarLife]

@james_e_b_ @NotThatBigIan The same as @NotThatBigIan’s

If you don’t listen to his show (available on @BBCSounds etc), what are you doing with your life?
As a criminal lawyer I enjoy listening to the audience participation. He’s doing a public service of policing education.
And no, he hasn’t paid me to say this ! 😂
