2009: Hadn’t joined twitter
2019: a thousand people just liked a tweet calling me dishonest and unethical
HNY everyone! 😬
I shouldn’t be morose. In 2009 I was an idealistic pupil barrister hoping to get into human rights law and make the world a slightly better place. In 2019 I have managed the first bit and despite what the haters say I think I have been net positive on the second!
Lots of love to everyone I met along the way - through my babies (now young adults I guess) @ukhumanrightsb, @EachOtherUk, 9 happy years at @1CrownOfficeRow my lovely newish colleagues at @doughtystreet, exciting new @BHumanPodcast, and everyone here of course even the haters 😘
Will say this too: being a human rights advocate (not just a lawyer) should not be comfortable or easy. If you aren’t getting some flack, or challenging orthodoxies (including close to home) then what’s the point? Just a thought. Maybe self-justificatory!
