“state of disrepair of our criminal courts is the equivalent of allowing deep potholes on our motorways, causing yet further dangerous delays to a chronically underfunded justice system and compromising public safety” @TheCriminalBar vice chair @JoSidhuQC https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/courtrooms-are-in-a-dire-state-of-disrepair-q3fwf2lj2#

The Criminal Justice System is in meltdown. Courts have become breeding grounds for the virus. Thousands of decent men and women are putting their health and lives at risk to keep trials running. Bring in daily testing or shut court doors NOW @HMCTSgovuk

Luke, your experience is utterly unacceptable but sadly still shared by far too many of our black colleagues at the bar. It has got to stop. I encourage any black and brown barristers who have faced similar treatment to contact me and I will ensure @TheCriminalBar acts decisively
