@sathnam.bsky.social hey Sathnam!

Politicians who cannot or will not define what a woman is deserve all the contempt they get. If you can’t define women you can’t legislate to protect them. nation.cymru/news/senedd-...

Hello! I have started a new blog and have reposted, with kind permission, a looong but superb essay by the lawyer Peter Daly on how institutions start to believe they are morally superior and cause harm as a result. Please read, comment and share as you see fit: genderblog.net/captured-ins...

I really hope this is a good review. Ah well, even if it's not...

This Friday I will be at the Otley Courthouse in Yorkshire with former Subpostmaster Janet Skinner to talk about the Post Office scandal. The evening event is sold out, but there are still tickets for the 2pm talk. Come along if you can! #Otley otleycourthouse.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/...

Listening to more of @nickwallis book, I’ve never heard the term “Malicious Prosecution” before, but I can’t think of any better description for what POL did to the SPM. They pursued baseless prosecutions solely in an attempt to file POCA claims to recover money.

Is this place worth it? Or any less of a potential hellsite?

For the first time in two weeks Amazon have got The Great #PostOfficeScandal back in stock on Prime. Get your copy now before they run out again. amzn.eu/d/hbsVR8q The extraordinary true story behind the hit ITV Drama #MrBatesVsThePostOffice

More Singh'd against than Singh-ing. The Post Office's former Head of Criminal Law reveals himself to be an incoherent clown. It would be funny had he not helped give innocent people criminal convictions. postofficescandal.uk/post/more-sing… #PostOfficeScandala#PostOfficeInquiryry

It’s very unlikely I will ever have two books published in 12 months, so forgive me if this gets a bit relentless in the run up to xmas but do consider The Great Post Office Scandal and/or Depp v Heard: the unreal story as presents for the book lover in your life.

Someone’s been drinking.

I agree.

This is QUITE the review!

This all looks strangely familiar…
