I do wish people with over-loud PA systems and megaphones wouldn't crash across every outside speech. Countless political interviews disturbed by noise and shouting. Now Keir Starmer's resignation speech. Whatever you think of particular politicians, please stop it.

Jay is correct. I bought two of his books and I love them. It’s good to physically have them. Treat yourself if you haven’t already and order a book!

"It is an important function of the courts to protect minorities, in particular small and perhaps unpopular minorities, since their interests may sometimes be... even deliberately violated by the majority," said the Court of Appeal, but not of trans or disabled people but of kids at private schools.
