Solicitor. Litigation / Regulatory/ Rule of Law. Public Policy. Usual Disclaimers.

We are six times more likely to be the victim of fraud (and it's getting worse) than theft. Yet political parties are stuck in the old-fashioned mantra of 'police on the beat not behind desks' https://t.co/NI4p8luowo

A UK national's citizenship is revoked. When she tries to contest the act, she's refused the right; delaying her right to justice by placing her into legal limbo.

And all in the land of Magna Carta ~

"To no one will we sell, to no one will we refuse or delay, right or justice"

Britain is in a dark place. The judiciary bows down to the state's racist agenda while the corporate media stamps in approval. No government accountability, majoritarianism and legal discrimination: a precarious situation for minorities in this country.

This is the man who turned Labour into a neoliberal Tory lite party; who has made tens of millions of pounds from brutal dictatorships & the invasion of Iraq - which led to the deaths of over a million people. I honestly don’t give a f*ck what he thinks about anything

[Saghir Hussain @SaghirH]

In truth the Boris Johnson philosophy is limited to lying and cheating to earn what he considers to be his entitlement.
But speaking truth to power is not compatible with a career in client journalism

[Robert Peston @Peston]

If @BorisJohnson has a political philosophy it is that he will not restrict our liberties unless there is an overwhelming reason to do so. That may prove to be sub-optimal in respect of our health and prosperity (public health and economics)...

In this 24-minute film director Farah Nabulsi subtly & sensitively provides a glimpse into 1 family’s world, capturing the danger and degradation that #Palestinians face daily.

[Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah]

I'll say it again. I sense the approach of a strong wave of 'blood on your hands' denunciations of dissenters in the weeks to come. Dissent is the only limit on Johnson's power to close down our lives. I think sceptics must all be prepared to take some hard pounding.

@ma_adam_ Also, once written down, whether on a journal or elsewhere, may help self to refine the abstract thoughts circulating in the mind?

A return to 1997, leading to an acceptance of defeat to Thatcher/Reagan inspired selfish individualism, deference to powerful lobbies which led to war crimes & mass surveillance. The resulting precariot classes revolt ultimately led to Trump, Brexit & a return to 1930's politics

The alliance Stephen Dorrell seeks is the very thing that led us to where we are today.

@AzTheBaz @RealKWB Actually... Just happen to be listening to this now.
One point apparent is how those who have political & media power can shift the OW as & when they please. The challenge for the rebels is how to organise & empower the majority not to be complicit
