Eat plants 🌱, not planets🌍.
Bio
I’m just a lawyer. Probably not your lawyer. I'm a legal aid lawyer. I specialise in asylum, human right & immigration. I am currently working at the Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit (GMIAU). My employer actively disavows all of my comments, opinions and views.
This is not a legal blog. I'm not a legal blogger.
Aside from various professional references and open letters I have signed, this is the only internet presence I have and maintain. A lot of the social media sites I'm on are in "read only mode 👓". They exist for the purpose of reading other people's posts.
Mostly sharing snippets from my life, the most random of thoughts.
