I find your posts on the legal system fascinating. However Ireland and every other ex-British colony will have to wait for it's payout, there are other places ahead of you and one ahead of all others - Wales, England's first colony.
Thanks for this excellent analysis Paula.I was a teacher in Kenya for 2 years. I saw many benefits the Brits brought to Kenya. Excellent health care (my Irish father-in-law was a doctor there) good infrastructure, large dams to supply water to communities, cash crops, education and democracy. Lord Hermer has an unbalanced view then so do many in the Labour party and in Ireland.
For Starmer he is a perfect choice. A square peg in a square hole. For the majority of the British public, this grates. Everyone should have a defence but it should not come at our safety or expense or because of some notion that has been perverted to benefit people who clearly despise our way of life, country, culture and religion. ‘Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent’ - Smith.

Well, except that England was a colony of the Normans at the time.
To fine-tune the old gag: What do you call a human rights lawyer at the bottom of the ocean?
A good start.

I'd quote Shakespeare, "Henry VI, Part 2," Act 4, scene 2, lines 76–77, but in the current climate, I'd probably be arrested...
Well said
Superb piece Laura. As ever.
Agree John.
