Yes I was worried about that. But then I went on linkedin and saw someone had posted a dramatic photo of themself just on their way to work with something like I AM A LAWYER I AM READY AT ANY STAGE I WAS RAISED BY WOLVES IN EPPING FOREST I AM A DESTROYER OF CLAUSES so felt better about it

I have a long standing answer to this... New York in 1977: you could see television and talking heads at CBGBs, DJ Kool Herc etc + the birth of hip hop in the Bronx, go to the opening of studio 54 and see the height of disco in clubs, + Steve Reich + Phillip Glass' early minimalist concerts

Well I hope they manage to shake at least some of them. We've done Almonds and now have to go through other nuts... And W did have a problem with lentils but seems to have gone now

'My peanut allergy nearly killed me - now I eat them every day' Just a few years ago, Chris Brookes-Smith could have died from eating peanuts - but taking part in a clinical trial has changed his life.

Gradual exposure to food allergens as a treatment can do amazing things. Two years ago our daughter went to hospital in anaphylaxis having milk in cooked food at nursery, a year of the ‘milk ladder’ at home via KCLH and she now is dairy allergy free

To be fair though that’s the Act’s fault for being so obtuse

I am screaming. If there was one area the other half of the jurisdiction should be carrying their weight on

The use of English Welsh here is obvs intentional cos I know nothing about the public availability of law in Ireland

Tim. Can I just say that imho the ECtHR/Council of Meh/HUDOC YOUDOC has been lightyears ahead of the English and Welsh court system in terms of making its law available to the public for a long while. As ever, I have nothing to say on the substance

Any suggestions for good US podcasts where you can catch up with the legal constitutional issues atm, I have tried and failed in this quest before

I’ve never read Campbell Aileen thanks for this excellent shout. On a quick glance I see it was an education breach looks more interesting that the English cases!
