Great and insightful post by Faisal.

I think the biggest issue are those who are not from within the respective communities but seek gain by highlighting and pushing division . See for more prominent examples Galloway G, Miller D , Winstanley A , Robinson T , Braverman A etc

In an election year, this forward-looking discussion about justice couldn’t be more timely.

The panellists met up yesterday …. Forget Question Time, PMQ’s, the Monday lunchtime panel is going to be a cracker.

Perhaps that list can be provided to criminal court benches so that they can refer all defendants unable to get representation to these firms who have the resources to provide pro bono work .

It’s been 6 months of war. I've just signed this letter to Foreign Secretary David Cameron to let him know that many British Jews support an end to the war, release of all hostages, humanitarian aid to Gaza & long term resolutions. Add your name here: yachad.org.uk/yachad-campaig…

As humanitarians.. we are adding our voices to the call for an immediate political process to stop the conflict, ensure the release of all the hostages, & avert a famine by enabling a massive surge in humanitarian aid to reach Palestinians in need.

Hamas committing war crimes doesn’t mean that Israel can ignore international law.

The remains of Shifa Hospital are dystopian. Palestinians need access to medical care, aid and shelter.

Today 7 aid workers at World Central Kitchen were killed in an IDF strike. Nowhere is safe in Gaza.

I get that these protests are difficult to police and proportionality is key .

But swatsikas ffs !

If someone is displaying swastikas they are committing a public order offence. There have been 40 yrs of reported cases on this point . It is one of the most obvious examples.

Whilst there can be no doubt most offending is inextricably linked to poverty and cuts in public services, the powerful points made by Jo need to be acknowledged across the political spectrum.

Let’s be imaginative and not compete for votes over who can offer to bang more up.

This has been a brilliant example of campaigning journalism, for months Tristan Kirk has been highlighting the inequities of a justice behind closed doors and the criminalising of ordinary folk . Like you, your friends and families

“Finally, I commend Mr Dalton and Ms O'Raghallaigh for their energetic pursuit of Mr Kim's release right through the night ... critically important to the rule of law that those who are unlawfully detained should have the benefit of such dedicated professional representation”

Lawyers - including in this country - have been targeted for violence and worse when political rhetoric dishonestly conflates legal professionals with the clients they represent.

That is not theoretical. It happens daily, across the world.

And our Prime Minister stokes the fire

It’s not so much about being deserving but more about how well suited they are to be appointed Kings Counsel.

Joanne Cecil is an absolute star and a lovely person . No one can be surprised to see this and it was lovely to see Jo dressed and ready to do battle with pirates 🏴‍☠️
