  8. I listened to this yesterday. I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Part of is was the great performance of the narrator David Silbey but it is primarily because of the fantastic writing of Sophie Elmhirst. I feel like this story would make a great small-scale film.

  12. The Bushel case of 1670, celebrated in a plaque in the Old Bailey, was that of two Quakers, William Mead and William Penn. Back then, nice middle-class liberals actually stood for something, and they wouldn't give up.

    Sir Edward Davey take note.

    I applaud those standing today in solidarity with Trudi Warner.

  13. 68yo #TrudiWarner is being prosecuted for contempt of court for holding a sign informing jurors of their right to acquit on conscience, outside a trial of environmental protestors at Inner London Crown Court.

    If the trial had been held at the Central Criminal Court, (the #OldBailey ) 1.5 miles north, jurors would have been able to read the plaque outside telling them about this right and its origin in Bushel’s Case, 1670.
