How can you uphold the law, Comrade, if you are not in tune with the spirit of the law?

The Legal Feminist, a forum to discuss feminist issues in the legal system, is preparing to fight back against proposals from the industry regulator which could see barristers punished if they fail to act in a way which “advances equality, diversity, and inclusion”.

Barrister Naomi Cunningham, who specialises in discrimination, said she fears the vagueness of a new proposal from the Bar Standards Board (BSB) paves the way for “arbitrary enforcement” meaning barristers with “unpopular or unfashionable views” get excluded.

All very Vyshynsky, isn’t it? Lawyers would routinely berate the people they were supposedly defending for shaming Comrade Stalin etc…

  1. I wonder just who is carrying out this warfare on the West? Is it a native of the West, like TTK or Obama, who hate us and themselves and has realised that the education of people is generally so low that they don’t know very much at all? Or is it the Russians or the Chinese who just naturally assume that the antics of the rulers of the West is so outrageous that now is the time to strike?

    Yes, there are definitely millions of unfortunate people who are a mixture of male and female and they can decide which sex they are from day to day.
    Yes, there is a gas which makes up 0.04% of the atmosphere that is killing the planet and it’s all your fault!
    Yes, bats decided to have a holiday 2,000 miles from where they normally live and the deadly virus they carry has mutated to killl human beings.

  2. I bet there are multiple clauses in human rights law that contradict this “vague” and arbitrary enforcement, and a decent barrister would win any case.

    But then she would be acting on her own dime. And as we all know, a lawyer without the meter running doesn’t think at all.

  3. Feminism is all about promoting the interests of [a certain type of] women: it’s not about justice between the sexes. Feminist orthodoxy is one of the major factors in our decadence. Female/feminist values predominate in schools – with 84% of UK primary school teachers being female and 75% of secondary school teachers.
