Re: Friday 7th January 2022
On the Braveman thing, presumably all the Court of Appeal could do would be to find that due process was not followed (e.g. the jury wasn't selected properly). As everyone else is saying, they can't revisit the decision of the jury can they?

@RoT class!
The number of people posting on Twitter that it’s a disgrace and we have to uphold the rule of law is rather amusing when the four were cleared by a jury in Bristol Crown Court.
How exactly do they want the rule of law to be upheld?

‘My motto of the year is from Roy Jenkins - “never worry about criticism from people you wouldn’t dream of taking advice from”’
The problem it seems is this relies on careful choice of advisors. I suspect Jenkins got it right. I’m less certain about Adonis.
