I am happy to advise though you might also want to speak to someone with a better record than 23 unsuccessful pupillage applications and one successful.

Point is: no shame in failure
Also, unless you are on of those unusual people who gets loads of offers the margin between success and failure is incredibly narrow. I’m not even sure I was the chambers I was successful at’s first choice.
Also, the chambers I am now at (Doughty Street) rejected me twice for pupillage without an interview 😊
Apologies for the gruesome grammar in the second tweet, perhaps this is why I got so few pupillage offers

Now Turkey has been added to the “red list“ anyone who travels there has to hotel quarantine for 10 days upon return.

But in any case it would currently be illegal for fans to travel there for a football match as that wouldn’t be a ‘reasonable excuse’ bbc.co.uk/sport/football…
You have to have a ‘reasonable excuse’ to travel outside of the UK at present. That will change, I assume, for ‘green list’ counties and maybe ‘amber’ but won’t I imagine for red list legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2021/364/…
It is currently a reasonable excuse for elite sportspersons and coaches to travel abroad Image

I mentioned I was in court last Sat and Sun (and Mon) - this is what for.

I think this is the first successful legal challenge to placement in hotel quarantine involving a severely disabled child whose doctor said they couldn't safely be held at the hotel.

(thread) /1
This is the fifth case so far I have been involved in relating to hotel quarantine and it is the most troubling so far.

It also identifies a number of issues which I think are features of the system rather than specific to this case

/2
The full facts are in the press release (child's identity anonymised).

Essentially:

The child has severe needs and their treating psychologist provided a report to the Department of Health explaining why their particular severe needs could not be met in hotel quarantine /3

🚨Some amendments to the travel regulations

The Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel) (England) (Amendment) (No. 13) Regulations 2021

legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/568/…
The one people will be most interested in I imagine is allowing people attending the G7 conference to avoid hotel quarantine and self-isolation
I haven't tweeted for a while on the hotel quarantine regulations - I have been doing quite a bit of work relating to what is happening in hotel quarantine which I hope to be able to speak about in general terms soon. Some pretty extraordinary things happening in these hotels.

Thanks - I block them but he just sets up new ones. Yes It is always helpful to report for harassment.

He (I assume is "he") tends to call the accounts variations of "Steve Bellamy" or "Tir Tairngire". He replies to people who mention me

The problem is that because Twitter allows you to set up an endless number of accounts without verification the block and report function becomes a bit redundant and useless against determined harassers
I know that other people with large followings get this far more than I do - particularly women and people of colour - so I feel a bit awkward even mentioning it, but it has got to a stage where he is contacting institutions I am giving lectures to and god knows who else
