The Prince of Wales was deemed a “pretty good batter” whose “bowling needs a bit of work” as he played cricket with global stars of the sport in front of Buckingham Palace. Joe Root, England Test captain, said of William: “He played some lovely shots. There’s a lot to work with there.” 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/royal-family…

This weekend marks two decades since Gibraltar's tercentenary celebrations. One of the more memorable events saw thousands of people take part in the 'Hands Around The Rock', forming a human chain, to celebrate 300 years of British sovereignty, on 4th August 2004.

Great event at @GibGarrisonLib with @NigelBiggar. 🇬🇮 Interesting discussion on colonialism, and whether #Gibraltar’s status as a non-self governing territory has any relevance in the modern world. Always nice to see a former Fellow of @OrielOxford, my alma mater! – at Gibraltar

I’ve written an article for @computersandlaw on El Salvador’s Bitcoin Law. If you’re into crypto or fintech regulation, check it out!
Bukele’s Bitcoin Bet: The Implications of El Salvador’s decision to make Bitcoin ‘legal tender’ ift.tt/3C6Pj5R Max Shreeve-McGiffen wonders whether El Salvador's decision to make Bitcoin legal tender, the first state to do so, will inspire others to follow suit.

Plato was right: a person’s moral character is not revealed so much by the things they say, but by what they do when they have the power to do wrong with impunity.

I'm undertaking an internship with @OxfordLawFac's Cameroon Conflict Research Group. The crisis in Cameroon is neglected by the media, and half the issue is raising awareness. Please follow @camerooncrisis if you're interested in learning more! nrc.no/news/2019/june/camero…
