In a move reflective of the current state of the criminal justice system in a lot of ways at present, in one of my local Crown Courts a sign has gone up in the men's loo in the robing room saying that paper towels will no longer be provided

The only people who support removing serious criminal trials from juries and handing them to volunteer magistrates are people entirely unaware of the reality of magistrates’ court justice.

Six days until the demise of a political party which revels in telling the public that I and my colleagues are “morally deficient” for upholding the rule of law by providing independent, non-judgemental legal representation to those who need it.

I cannot wait.
