An Ipswich court was forced to use a translation app to communicate with a defendant who speaks limited English after an interpreter failed to attend his sentencing hearing. eadt.co.uk/news/crime/ipswic…

Counsel at a trial involving an interpreter has just recounted a case whereby a juror, who spoke fluent Spanish, intervened to say the court-appointed one was not interpreting correctly and the jury had to be discharged. These are the kind of anecdotes I love as a court reporter.

No point getting angry about this. Just feel pity. Anyone who reacts this way to the death of a child has lost more than they will ever understand

If you missed this eye-opener on Channel 4 at 7pm tonight, you can catch up here. Serious Crime. But no justice. It’s short (9 mins), powerful, terrifying and true. If only the general public knew. #fundjustice

The justice system isn’t a party political issue. It’s more fundamental than that.
Successive govts have allowed our criminal justice system to rot for decades. It’s not a vote-winner with the public so it’s crippled by under-funding.
When it goes wrong? Chaos. We warned you.

The BBC accidentally said the facts of something rather than pretend that there were two sides to it. They're very sorry and won't do it again.

My professor just told me that if we get a whiff of smoke it’s because another professor put the papers he was grading in the microwave to rid them of any chance of Corona Virus & then the papers caught on fire... I can’t make this stuff up people

This is a great opportunity. I wish this had been around when I was a student.
Are you a student or trainee interpreter/translator? Or maybe recently qualified? You may want to be thinking of booking a few days in Bristol for #GoingPro2020 asli.org.uk/event/save-the-d…
