'A fascinating insider account' Grace Blakeley British democracy is
on trial. We can no longer hold our leaders to account; the state
has too much power; and the truth doesn't matter at all. Those we
voted into government have nothing but contempt for the democratic
system that got them there. When the Prime Minister illegally
prorogued Parliament, barrister Sam Fowles was part of the team
that took him to court, and won. The scenes of the police violently
restraining women at a vigil for Sarah Everard shook the nation. In
a high-profile parliamentary inquiry, Fowles proved the Met's
actions fundamentally breached our right to protest. For decades,
the Post Office pursued criminal prosecutions against its own
employees, knowing the evidence was dodgy all along. Fowles helped
reveal the rot at the heart of a trusted national institution. We
shouldn't have to take our rulers to court just to get them to
follow the rules. At a crucial juncture for British governance,
Fowles urges us not to take our freedoms for granted.
