First time I have had to calculate whether I can actually accept instructions.

Trial next week, a gang stealing ATMs by ripping out of walls and placing on to flat-bed trucks.

Serious work you might think? Worthy of senior counsel, albeit not silk.

Charged as conspiracy to burgle. Scheme 10 AGFS

Around 8500 pages of evidence

Brief fee £550 (to include first day of trial)
Refresher £300/day
Daily travel to court out of town, which won’t be paid, back £65.

Interestingly, this is the same charge as Hatton Garden burglary. £250 to prep a trial of this nature? What sort of insanity is this?

And yet I’m considering it. Work is work and when all cases are poorly paid, why not take serious work. The alternative is £0 and no work.

THREAD: Key points from Baghdadi appearance:
casual show of new "wilayah" (branch, province) of Turkey
Important setting: he's hosting IS officials in his diwan (court) & discussing affairs of the caliphate & its constituents. As caliph, he can't be seen on the run & secretly filming a msg, so they create this scene to indicate he's still strong & able to attend to Cal matters
