@DrProudman Not going to say trials in England are perfect, but I have never conducted an “aggressive cross-examination that focuses more on the complainant’s personal life” as you suggest. And I’ve defended in a lot of rape trials.

@thehistoryguy This is genuinely your best work. Much more of this please (though I like the history stuff too).

@MAMBarLife Washable is important. Cells in magistrates courts and Crown Courts, and indeed prisons, are not the cleanest or most fragrant places. Occasionally the clients aren’t either. I live in washable suits, dresses and t-shirts.

@MAMBarLife You already know mine, but they’re here again for posterity

@CrimeLineLaw @MAMBarLife Except young, attractive white men (some of whom may or may not have been sex workers). I believe this was his undoing.

[Tooting Beck🌻✊ @beckys_belly]

@CrimeLineLaw @MAMBarLife Ah yes. He was also massively racist as well, as I recall.

@HistoryExtra I’m gonna go with Stalin, I think. I would definitely be on a list by the end of the holiday.

I’m in the process of moving to Bluesky. My feed is awful now and this place is a gutter.

@LubaBaladzhaeva Just been told I need varifocals for the first time, after wearing reading glasses for 30 years. Haven’t ordered them yet, but will be in the same position as you - I have to accept I will be a permanent glasses-wearer 😢🤓

@speakoutsister And the people rioting are the ones that want us to repeal HRA1998 and come out of the ECHR!

@TheBBSituation Spencer! Needed your blog cos I missed the early parts (work things 😢) but “Zou counters with pommeling a pommel himself” is some of your best work since the 2016 rings final. Loving your work as always.

@TheCriminalBar Yes, for such a modern court building, it’s appallingly designed. It’s like a greenhouse - desperately needs air conditioning.

@24_ricochet @MattHighton But there's no crying in baseball...😉
