@_F_B_G_ A perfect example of delivery dictating the entire atmosphere. Mesmerising

[Sam Barker @SamBarker2HB]

@James_M_Lloyd @Joanna__Hardy Steady, James!

[Sam Barker @SamBarker2HB]

@jamespriceglos @_F_B_G_ The best bits are all actually in Sussex.

[Sam Barker @SamBarker2HB]

@TweetingYet @PollockMarrazzo Both?

[Sam Barker @SamBarker2HB]

@_F_B_G_ I trust you will address congregations using this approved gibberish.

“Let us soak-it-all-in”
“We soak-it-all-in for the King, and his ministers.”

@James_M_Lloyd @andrew_mueller @crimcounsel @geofftech They should also be included in the ULS scheme.

Sam Barker @SamBarker2HB prosecuted two men for shocking mass stabbing after a botched robbery in the City of London, securing 17 year extended sentences for each. The judge awarded £7500 from @cityoflondon for members of the public who tackled them.

@LeonNathanLynch Leon - the Met responded to this with a fierce denial; I’m not up on the material enough to see whether that holds water, but it sounded as though the basis of the story was nonsense. I’d be glad of your view of their reply

[Sam Barker @SamBarker2HB]

@FrankieFoster3_ Simply, and excellently, put.

[Sam Barker @SamBarker2HB]

@jamespriceglos @michaelgove @Madz_Grant Who was interviewing whom?

[Sam Barker @SamBarker2HB]

@_F_B_G_ Congratulations! The Bull is a magnificent pub!

[Sam Barker @SamBarker2HB]

@TweetingYet We already had a reply - it was a typo.

[Sam Barker @SamBarker2HB]

@TweetingYet Because I now am up at night wrestling a tiny human to sleep, I have time to read this nonsense.

I think there’s been a foul up. The guilty plea fee (45% of the brief fee) and the brief fee are the same in every case, if you look. There’s been shoddy copy + pasting going on.

[Sam Barker @SamBarker2HB]

On the face of it, this is a massive rejig and reduction in complex cases.

No consultation was done, as far as I recall - it was just said to be an application of a 15% increase! This looks like a huge fee reduction to me.

Is a single signatory of this declaration actually a graded CPS advocate capable of prosecuting a trial that they say they would refuse to accept?

[Sam Barker @SamBarker2HB]

@TweetingYet @paulpowlesland I’d like to know how many are CPS graded…

[Sam Barker @SamBarker2HB]

@benmrowe And they wonder why people elect!

It’s so morbid to have your morale boosted by sending people to prison…

[Sam Barker @SamBarker2HB]

@benmrowe Or “Justice 4 ‘defendant’s-name-here’”

[Sam Barker @SamBarker2HB]

@benmrowe Did it say, “we love you Mr Rowe”?
