This is brilliant
In 2004 I interned in New Orleans working on death row cases by day, by night I socialised with debutantes. This is an introductory essay to a short series of excerpts from my diary of that time: counselofperfection.substack…

Hello, there 👋
Have you heard David Lammy MP and Sarah Sackman MP talking about people stealing bottles of whisky and swiping mobile telephones as examples of people who should not get jury trials?
Well. I’d like to tell you a story.

Instead of feeling the Christmas cheer last night at our pub - I had to walk away and cry.
I simply can’t be sure anymore that we will still be operating next Christmas.
I love our pub, our punters, our staff. It just feels so bleak.
😢
Thanks @RachelReevesMP Merry Christmas.

🚴 Exclusive: The cost of bringing the Tour de France to Edinburgh has soared again after the Scottish Government finally admitted how much it will be spending on the event. 🚴
Spoiler alert: It’s more than it spends on the city’s annual home-grown events.

In all the noise about jury trials today - know this:
If you drive a car / go to work / socialise / use a mobile phone / go to the pub / date / interact in any way with other humans then you could be wrongly accused of a crime at any moment.
And you’d want one thing:
A jury.

I would strongly advise you to go and see A Little Inquest into What we are Doing Here @ZOOvenues @ThisEgg_ exquisitely theatrical, strangely beautiful and clear-headed probe into the culture wars.
James Mackenzie retweeted
A Little Inquest by @ThisEgg_ is clear eyed look at culture wars and real life. It doesn’t shy from asking difficult questions: of itself, of us. It’s more fun than I’m making it sound. It feels extremely timely and very worth watching.

We know the England team losing the #EURO2024 is the worst outcome for some, for others however it's the reality of waiting for their partner to come home.
Football doesn't cause #DomesticAbuse, abusers do.

37 years ago today I watched Edward Earl Johnson die in Mississippi’s gas chamber (same gas as Auschwitz’s). If he’d lived he’d be a happy 64 yo grandfather… #14DaysInMay
