Step forward The Secret Barrister – the Scarlet Pimpernel of the Bar. If only someone could articulate their grievances and champion their cause. But even before pestilence stalked the land they thought they were getting a pretty raw deal. Since most lawyers (certainly the courtroom as opposed to City variety) are sole traders, they are getting hit especially badly by the coronavirus shutdown. So why, they ask, are they treated so badly? Starved of cash by the Government, traduced by the press, pilloried for getting the bad guys off, unloved and, in many cases, close to despair. And yet, as we are a country defined by the rule of law, our courts, judges, magistrates, barristers and solicitors are the guardians of our very liberties. Suspicion of the legal profession has long run deep in this country, much to the consternation of its practitioners. ![]() "The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.” Shakespeare has always got a laugh for that joke (assuming it was a joke) in Henry VI Pt 2, even to this day. ![]() ![]() ![]() Their music remains stubbornly unfashionable, but retains its huge fanbase. Mark Knopfler, their singer, guitarist, producer and songwriter, became a caricature of the middle-aged rocker in the minds of many. Over exposure as the safe, boring champions of the CD age, has resulted in Dire Straits becoming, to many, the embodiment of a certain sort of benign, homogenised music. Since then, however, their star has fallen. Brothers in Arms sold by the truckload, one of the first massive sellers on CD. Six years later, they were, for a time, the biggest band in the world. Dire Straits, unlikely pop stars led by a balding 29-year-old Geordie who could play guitar brilliantly, had finally arrived. 'Sultans of Swing', a very wordy song with lots of driving guitar, a tight rhythm section and some killer musicianship.

This retelling, though, is told from the perspective of a Black man, Tommy Tester, the titular Black Tom. It is a retelling of Lovecraft’s short story The Horror at Red Hook, published in 1927. I previously reviewed Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, which is Lovecraft inspired, but today I wanted to feature The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle. Lovecraft’s works, by Black authors & authors of color.

Can we rescue her ASAP?Īs for the rest of the night, Kai is what this series has needed for a while, and I've loved every minute of his devilish, psychopathic story. I would've preferred more scenes of Bonnie talking to the eclipse and the tree. Were the flashbacks Bonnie's memories as she decorated a tree in the MFHS parking lot? Were they Caroline's? They were scattered throughout in a way that didn't really work. And Caroline wasn't nearly snarky enough!)

However, he thinks little of newer philosophers. So where does Nietzsche get his truth from? He writes that his theories are a result of the intensity of his education, particularly the study of Ancient Greek and modern philosophers. Nietzsche does not value those who have not the desire to delve into the deepest areas of their mind to find the truth. Nietzsche proposes that any human being has the capability to do this, but most do not do so because they lack the ambition to dig through everything they have ever learned to question its validity. Nothing is free from this self-interrogation, and that includes self-perception, societal teachings, and religion. Everything they have ever learned or observed must be reexamined. ![]() At the heart of Nietzsche’s argument is the idea that to learn the truth, a human being must question everything. ![]() |
