It is inevitable that, having been a magistrate for so many years, this blog will contain a fair bit of comment on legal matters, including those cases which came before me in court. However, it is not restricted to such and may at times stray ‘off-topic’ and into whatever area interests me at the time.

All comments are moderated but sensible and relevant ones, even critical ones, are welcome; trolling and abuse is not and will be blocked.

Any actual case that was once involved in, and upon which I may comment, will be altered in such a way as to make it completely unidentifiable.

The Price of Freedom

There's been some expressions of outrage in the national press, and amongst some MPs, concerning the BBC allowing the 'hate preacher' Anjem Choudary to air his despicable views on the Today program.

I don't join in this condemnation.

The more we hear his poisonous narrative of extremism the more we will recognise and be aware of his danger, and that of his followers.
Forewarned is forearmed.

"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance".
Thomas Jefferson
3rd President of America (1743 - 1826)
