Barristers who work in our criminal courts have voted for an all out strike on 5 September. This is historic, and necessary.
This strike is about protecting *YOUR* rights, whether you know it or not.
Here is why you should care:
Anyone can end up on the wrong end of a police investigation.
Anyone can be falsely accused.
Anyone can be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Anyone can be wrongly blamed for an accident. Or just in a bad set of circumstances during a vulnerable time in their life.
