    Turnbull Recalled with a Permanant Move in the coming days.

    I am not the type for just picking up on grammar though. Not usually my style. The fact is that the question mark here makes all the difference. Without that the sentence just becomes a sentence and not a question. I don't usually pick up on little grammatical errors, but a question mark turns a...

    Defence lawyers/barristers defending clients they know to be guilty

    I do think we are talking about different things here, Clint. :) I am not talking in terms of just an assumption. I am talking of something much more concrete. As an example I will use this Turpin case. A lot of it is alleged, so some element of doubt. I think we have to take the doctors'...

    Defence lawyers/barristers defending clients they know to be guilty

    I am not talking assumptions. I am talking about your knowing a client is guilty. If it is true these Turpin parents chained their children to their beds and beat them and starved them, then they are guilty of child cruelty. Seemingly doctors have said they are all malnourished. Even just that...

    Defence lawyers/barristers defending clients they know to be guilty

    Surely the remit of a lawyer should be to see a fair trial and justice done.

    Defence lawyers/barristers defending clients they know to be guilty

    Yes, agree. What you are quoting is the system as it stands and that is what I advocate needs changing. I am not sure on the rest past that of defending someone you believe is guilty, but that is surely the starting point. It all begins from there. You see the client, hear the story, look at...

    Defence lawyers/barristers defending clients they know to be guilty

    Yeah, I get ALL that. You're going off on a bit of a tangent. :) I don't believe they are acting as judge and jury, I think they would just be acting on their conscience. If you were a lawyer and had a client you knew was guilty of a bad crime, would you try and secure a not guilty verdict for...

    Defence lawyers/barristers defending clients they know to be guilty

    Nope, me neither. I think they would have said to plead on diminished responsibility or suchlike and the moment they said 'No, we are pleading not guilty,' I wouldn't have taken the case. I think in such a circumstance where every defence lawyer believes them guilty, but they are adamant they...

    Defence lawyers/barristers defending clients they know to be guilty

    Just always wondered how they can defend a client in court that they know is guilty. I understand them trying to get their client a fair trial and highlighting mitigating circumstances and background and trying to obtain the best deal etc.,but when they know the client is guilty, I just cannot...

    To be fair to him he's been quite funny on Roast Battle.

    Well some dyslexics might say Joy Seppala is the Brian of the operation.

    £5 tickets for Accrington - Community Day

    I think if you want to swipe your credit card they charge extra.

    Red card offences

    That and 'well there was contact.' Contact? In a contact sport? Well I never. That Morata one against Norwich was not a penalty. Unless you change the rules to that you cannot even touch a player then you have to allow some contact in the box. As soon as the Norwich defender put his hand on...

    Good job I don't support the hooped team in Berkshire.

    The worst gig you have ever been to...

    So glad you told me that! Flowered Up were going to be the next big thing according to some sources and I had tickets to that gig, but we went home because it was so late and they still hadn't come on. As far as I remember it was about 10 to midnight and they still hadn't taken to the stage.

    Me too. Been very impressed with him overall.

    £5 tickets for Accrington - Community Day

    Most definitely. If you'd just come back from using a lady of the night I don't think you would be talking of the customer acquisition process.

    £5 tickets for Accrington - Community Day

    Or maybe Dale Evans has agreed to cover the £1 charge for every ticket purchase.

    Otis Khan from Yeovil?

    Not so sure we are going to get one. Seems like our target was Richards and he's gone elsewhere. They are not ten a penny, so wouldn't be surprised if we don't get anyone past a young loan from a higher level.

    'What's the title of this thread?' Is a question. 'What's the title of this thread' is a statement. If you are asking the question the answer is right there above you. :)
