Sentencing remarks for the awful case today of a woman imprisoned for ending her own pregnancy are out. Here's my take.
For background: I've completed the most comprehensive analysis of these sorts of cases in England & Wales, findings published here: books.emeraldinsight.com/page/detail/Cr…

The judge starts by reminding us of the role of the courts: "The balance struck by the law between a woman's reproductive rights &
the rights of her unborn foetus is an emotive and often controversial issue. That is, however, a matter for Parliament and not for the courts."
the rights of her unborn foetus is an emotive and often controversial issue. That is, however, a matter for Parliament and not for the courts."
The Hon. Mr Justice Pepperall is absolutely right about this. But it is time that Parliament Acts. The law is no longer fit for purpose. Initially enacted to prevent harmful abortions during the Victorian era. Abortion is now safe and there is no need for criminal law regulation

1/ 🚨 Unjust Prosecution Alert! The Indian Income Tax Department tried to prosecute an innocent man for a small mistake of non-filing of return due to poor health and missing photocopies.
Is this the kind of treatment taxpayers deserve?

2/ Suresh Kumar Agarwal faced criminal charges for a 17-month delay in filing his tax return (AY 2013-14).
His defense?
The delay was due to death and missing photocopies of documents. Yet, the IT Department was hell-bent on prosecuting him! #InnocentTaxpayer #IndianTaxSystem

3/ Fortunately, the court saw reason! It ruled that penalties under section 271(1)(a) of the IT Act are quasi-criminal in nature and mens rea (criminal intent) must be established before a penalty can be imposed. #JusticePrevails #FairTaxSystem

@SteveBarclay paid £155,817.00

I've thought about this for a while now.
I've never really been an anti-royalist but I feel a change overwhelming me.
I was brought up to respect the royal family but of course that was while the Queen was our head of state.
While I understand that

King Charles should have a coronation the scale and the cost is in very poor taste.
He said he wanted a scaled-down coronation, I am only assume because of the struggles of so many in this country, what has changed?
Did the cost of living go away?, are people now able to heat

A couple of years ago, during the #Pandemic, a number of women directors (including me), had had enough of the inequality amongst male & #femaledirectors of #documentaries in the UK industry. @WeAreDocWomen was a result of a number of women coming together ...
to effect real change. #WeareDocWomen was already formed a number of years earlier, but it wasn't until the #Pandemic that the glaring inequality amongst directors became so obvious. Then the #tvgendergapreport came out which showed just how bad that inequality was ...
Here's the background to that report - some of which I'm going to quote from in the following tweets .. variety.com/2020/tv/global… #wearedocwomen #femalefilmmakers #timesup #timeforchange #5050pledge
First speech of today's demos
"This is war..
They are coming to kill you and that's the end of it...
You have to fight the militia..
Covid19 is a fake..
They are coming to steal your kids.."
Someone from the crowd shouts back "kill all the bastards"
Crowd erupts in cheers.

Funny how many people want to mask up at the anti mask 'covid is fake' demo.
Take his lad for example.
What does he plan doing I wonder.
Nice grift selling ballys at the demo.

1/🧵 I’d like to think as a medical community that we have changed & no longer discharge people w/out appropriate follow-up, but just last week I met a #COVID19 survivor who was discharged from the ICU simply to follow up w his primary care physician.

2/ He couldn’t return to his job, was fired & had no income for his family. That resulted in him not having enough money for medications, gas, or bills. He missed his doctor’s appointment, his electricity was turned off, so he is unable to apply online for disability. 😤
3/ The cycle continues. I usually see these pts when they get septic again & end up back in my ICU on life support.
The care leaver renting a shed in his landlords garden for £650 per month. The rats got it for free.

‘The migrant camp at Calais is nicknamed the jungle. But that’s not what I saw. What I found on a recent visit were homes. Carefully tended plots growing flowers, fruit and vegetables. 2/
I saw hope, but also sadness, as the lemons will never ripen, and the pumpkins are not destined for Halloween. The camp is set once again for imminent demolition. But where will the inhabitants go, and how will they have the drive, or the will, to try and create another home 3/
Today my campaign is issuing a statement condemning @GovHerbert and @SpencerJCox for refusing to accept tens of millions in emergency food aid for Utah’s hungry children. This is not ok. Here’s why: 1/11 tinyurl.com/yd2eve7f
Last March Congress actually did something right when they passed the bipartisan Families First #Coronavirus Response Act. Both @SpeakerPelosi and @SenateMajLdr McConnell agreed on a critical program to help feed hungry kids while our economy is struggling. 2/11
The program, called Pandemic-EBT (electronic benefit transfer), offers a billion dollars in grants to states to provide prepaid food benefit cards to hungry families to buy food for children. Similar “food stamps” program, the idea was to replace school lunches this summer. 3/11
At the #Roundtable @COP25CL #TimeForAction Building a Resilient Future through Water. 1) By default & disaster the world finally understands that climate change hits us hardest through water: too much, too little, polluted.
2) Understand, value & manage water best and it can be the leverage for inclusive comprehensive impactful change. Investing in water delivers returns outside of the water sector. These interdependencies need to be captured and valued. #TimeForChange @COP25CL
3) the #2030agenda and the #COP21 agreement are one and the same for the future of our planet & society. Water cuts across all, as a dealbreaker but can be the dealmaker. #TimeForChange @COP25CL
"This year alone has seen a 55% increase in reports of sex abuse and other misconduct than last year. That amounts to an average of 239 reports a month... Analysts predict that the number of reports could cap off at 667 per month or 8,000 per year."
