Barrister: “I’m told my client slept in.”
Judge: “Ah, bless him. His bed may not be as comfy this evening.”
Good morning from Leeds Crown Court where at least two hearings are already delayed due to one defendant oversleeping and another still waiting for transport.

A Sheffield man has appeared in court after being charged in relation to the disorder in South Yorkshire over the weekend. Curtis Coulson sobbed as he was refused bail after denying affray in relation to an allegation he swung a stick at a woman outside Sheffield City Hall.

Trust me when I say: No one is going through nine months of pregnancy, birth and then 18 years of raising a child for an extra £15.90 a week
The two child benefit cap is perfectly reasonable.
It stops certain people from using children as cash cows and is fair.
If you cannot reasonably raise children with out support from the state - then you shouldn't be having kids. Tax payers shouldn't foot the bill

Salary of less than £30k in London? £775 a month for a room in central? Lee mate you are joking
Katy works for me. She is single & earns less than 30k, rents a room for £775pcm in Central London, has student debt, £120 a month on travelling to work saves money every month, goes on foreign holidays & does not need to use a foodbank.
Katy makes my point really well.

God forbid a judge removes a restriction AFTER conviction and not before.
Please everyone pick up a copy of McNaes I have had enough.
When teenager Brianna Ghey was murdered, the killers were named, despite their age, as it was viewed a public interest story.
Surely it’s in the public interest to name the sick and twisted savage that murdered three children and severely injured others?
Why keep it protected?

Show me someone who has never covered court:
Fairly disgraceful that the Covid Inquiry doesn't sit until 10am, doesn't work past 5pm, and doesn't sit on Fridays.
Dragging this on for far longer than necessary, and at greater cost as a result.
What a microcosm of government efficiency.

I’ve been to Calais. I’ve seen how refugees have lived, have spoken to them, heard their stories and how they face danger crossing to this country. What they go through is horrific enough. Imagine then having to deal with this shite while trying to keep their children safe.

What winds me up about this argument is that people assume a sign on a door will just stop anyone who doesn’t match the description going in. Male sex offenders go into female spaces to offend ALL of the time and nice versa - a sign doesn’t stop them this is just way to 🧵
Women deserve the right to privacy and dignity.

I'm in shock. I'm absolutely shooketh. At the age of 28, after having a safe and happy upbringing with just me and my mum, no trauma or baggage, that this random man is now telling me it wasn't normative or the basis of a safe and functioning society. How can this be Danny?
The normative family, the mother and father sticking together for the sake of the children, is the only basis for a safe and functioning society.
Marriage is not only about you, it's a public act to live for the sake of someone else.
