@andrewtlloyd@TravellerNews Also, as a Brit, I’m tickled pink that the universal currency is the “pound”… but not the pound sterling, rather le pound français. One in the eye for the Little Englanders.
@gifford_head On the most basic level, consider changing the name. ‘Mini-pupil’ is just such a godawful sounding label. Haven’t come up with anything much better, though, I have to admit; would love to hear thoughts.
This last comment of Sean’s is critical. It’s sometimes easy for us to forget what a bizarre, incomprehensible, scary place a court or tribunal can be. We routinely see people on the worst day of their life. And we get to be their voice.
What an astonishing, humbling privilege.
From the @FT. Reminiscent of the (true) principle that A class people hire A+ class people, because they’re not threatened by them (and because quality is what counts). But B-listers hire C (and sometimes Z) listers. Because they would be.
@daniel_barnett@artmarkham@carlgardner@LBC Also, it’s not about “equalities”. I’ve no idea what that means, in the context of discrimination. Whereas “equality” is a clear, and unambiguous, word.
@legalstyleblog@itsdavegreen@WalkerMarcus It could alternatively mean: “we are looking for excellence. And this shows we know it resides in all sorts of places. It’s about who, not where.” It might not; but it can.
@legalstyleblog@itsdavegreen@WalkerMarcus As I said, I can’t see it I. Their pupillage pages anywhere. And there’s a fundamental assumption (perhaps a flawed one) in the argument. “All our pupils recently have been non-Oxbridge” is only “anti-excellence” if Oxbridge defines excellence.
