It seems to me that a barrister in such circumstances might broadly be likened to a serving police officer facing disciplinary proceedings where for a very long time that would have enabled him/her to evade due process. And so I am against that path towards evasion.
As to anti- abortion protests of the kind considered I have been and remain deeply troubled when solitary, mere, mute protests as described can be viewed as illegal. Active resistance by way of obstruction to the relevant premises may indeed be another matter.
How on earth did we ever get to this particular UNpretty pass?
