Yes - that’s brilliant. Thank you.

Thank you for highlighting this. May I ask, but can you recommend anything related to slavery and HEICS?

What a pointless and unnecessary piece of legislation. It’s already illegal, there is already a sanction. www.bbc.co.uk/news/scotland

I needed away from it’s bile and all too frequent racism. But Bluesky feels a bit bland. All too consensual. 🤷‍♂️ perhaps we’re never happy.

Nothing to see here, just a lawyer, "full of claret", arguing against his client then suddenly reverse ferreting in court after being told he was making the wrong argument ... #LegalHistory #Scotland

Possible judge's notes re the Douglas Cause up for auction. If you've not heard of the Douglas Cause, it's an amazing 1760s inheritance case involving potentially purchased babies, poverty, and high society drama (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas...)
