The strangely under-reported story of Brian Buckle. Wrongly convicted of horrific sex crimes, gaoled for 32 years. Nearly dies of Covid. Family spend £500k on expert & legal costs & he's finally cleared. MoJ accepts his innocence. Compensation? £0.00. walesonline.co.uk/news/wales…

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming back Paul Spence to our Hull office as we proudly handed over a cheque to P.A.U.L for Brain Recovery.
Over the past month, our colleagues have been busy fundraising through a bake sale and a 10k run, raising an incredible £358 for this vital local charity!
A huge thank you to Paul for stopping by to share his appreciation, and to Solicitor Rosie Jukes and Legal Assistant Ralph Gutierrez for their hard work and organisation.
We're proud to have supported the charity since 2016, and we’re excited to see our partnership continue to grow in the future.

What the ?!!? ? Why would the @ccrcupdate, which is desperately short of money, be sending its Chief Executive on luxury French hotels and INSEAD courses? How does that help uncover miscarriages of justice? @emilydugan's astonishing story. theguardian.com/law/2025/feb…

"It's not unusual for leaders of high profile national organisations to attend advanced management courses." No it's not unusual, but it should be, & it's totally unnecessary. And their fluent & pompous management-speak shows they attended the classes.
