Guest post by Matt Muttley from Charon QC’s Blog
I’m delighted that today I have my first guest post which comes from my good friend, fellow blogger and all round good egg Charon QC. There’s not many things that he hasn’t seen in his time at the Bar (or indeed varieties of Rioja he hasn’t drunk for that matter) and I’m always grateful for his [...]

Bring back sleaze…
OldSmoothie was being particularly indiscreet today at chambers tea today as he regaled everyone with the details of BigMouth’s confession. “Hearing heart-warming stories like that gives me an almost nostalgic feeling that everything in the world is back to how it should be,” said HeadofChambers. “What, where politicians are sleazy?” said TheBusker. “And lawyers greedy?” [...]

The People’s Barrister
OldSmoothie’s still desperately trying every way possible to get the Tories to make him one of their million and one new peers and somehow he thought his attempt at a publicity stunt today would help. You see, he feels that despite his inherent brilliance as an advocate and his incredibly successful career (not), he still [...]
