		<description><![CDATA[In case you haven&#8217;t read it, Charon QC kicked off an interesting discussion about the Bar Standards Board&#8217;s censure of David Harris for some things he published as @geeklawyer by way of his protected Twitter account. The BSB called it, &#8220;engaging in conduct which was likely to diminish public confidence in the legal profession, administration [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Usually Police hear this one from people who&#8217;ve just been charged. I usually hear it from people in the early stages of a legal dispute regarding accusations their employer&#8217;s just made about them &#8211; or people who are being pursued by someone who says they owe them money. But because many of the &#8220;I don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

Today, and with a big H/T to Messrs Legal Cheek, we&#8217;re able to see the flip-side of the same old coin &#8211; motorists who don&#8217;t think cyclists have equal protection under the Road Traffic Act [...]]]></description>
