I bought this this week – sorry it is just audio but had to post it. Loved the original, which was No1 the day my eldest was born, and love this cover, possibly more. They currently encore with it. Dedicated to all those trying to save UK justice.

It would be nice to have precise numbers of the firms we have helped in our 19-year history. We don’t and have not the records to do a retrospective count. It will certainly be over a thousand and that is before you count training delegates. That is quite a lot. I can however truly say […]
This is my favourite song from Paul Wellers new album Saturns Pattern.

Perhaps even more surprisingly the firm received an explanation, verging on an […]
Richard Hawley is back (tour tickets snatched yesterday) and this “single” is all over the radio – well 6 Music at least. Unmistakable and under 3 minutes – perfect. (And how good it this too)
This is today’s front page from the Guardian Assuming that the research is even half right, and it surely can’t be that far out, these are quite startling figures. The graph showing £58.2b paid out in corporate subsidies set against the corporate tax take of £41.3b most catches the eye. The standard “trickle down effect” […]
Another “first day back” at my desk which is covered with the usual array of audit and appeal results which have come in over the last 10 days. I was going to say “nothing ever changes” however it is a bit of a shock to return to a criminal legal aid “strike”. From my early […]
