Sexual Harassment at the Bar .New Law Journal 1995.by Barbara Hewson.
When the Lord Chief Justice innocently inquired at the recent Women Lawyers Conference is sexual harassment were a recent problem, he came perilously close to being booed by his audience. One woman at the Bar suffered following the break-up of a relationship with their then pupil master: finding herself pregnant by him, she had to leave Chambers. She decided bravely to keep both her child in her career, at considerable personal cost; though she heard of other women elsewhere, in comparable situations who had had abortions instead.
Eyes I dare not meet in dreams
ReplyDeleteIn death’s dream kingdom
These do not appear:
There, the eyes are
Sunlight on a broken column
There, is a tree swinging
And voices are
In the wind’s singing
More distant and more solemn
Than a fading star.

We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar
Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;
Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom
Remember us-if at all-not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men

Let me be no nearer
In death's dream kingdom
Let me also wear
Such deliberate disguises
Rat's coat, crowskin, crossed staves
In a field
Behaving as the wind behaves
No nearer-
Not that final meeting
In the twilight kingdom
excellent to with stand an immoral demand to exclude a child how marvelous of Sir Derek Spencer he sure deserves his knighthood,should be in the house of Lords courage like his goes a long way to redeem the unconsciunable disregard of te callous father who cares not oe wit for his own son
ReplyDeleteGood for Sir Derek Spencer Q C what a courageous hero to stand against the bullying elites for the sake of justice and the human rights of a child who the father had declared to him when Sir Derek said the baby was struggling for life and breath on a life support machine,David Cocks Q C the childs father,who had made his pupil pregnant and abandoned her ! "I couldnt care less if the child dies i will never see him he is nothing to me "
ReplyDeletequaint if the behaviour wasnt so insane
ReplyDeletemost humans love and hon their children before the children of others to please other
A total outrage for a man to bully his son in this secret and underhand manner
Unthinkable self endorsement.Inhuman to shunn his son and be smug and gloating about it. Remorsless evil with no fairness and no respect for human dignity especcially his own and his sons who he tried to have aborted for the sake of his career after getting his young orphan pupil pregnant and abandoning her paying only £16.24pence a week while he has a 200 acrea estate

"I couldnt care less if the child dies i will never see him he is nothing to me "
david cocks should be ashamed of his unworthy conduct as a pupil master and as a father throwing his pupil out of chambers for not aborting his child,shunning his child and hurting the welfare of mother and child as well as the mothers career as a barrister meanwhile giving full access to him of his much older step children,while always speaking ill and manipupalting every oppotunity to have acces to his own child,telling Sir Derek Spencer Q C when the child was on a life support machine "I couldnt care less if he dies he is nthing to me I will never see him"
ReplyDeleteDespite being on of the highest paid prosecution barristers only paying the child £16.25p a week.Sccording to Hansard he earned nearly £500,000 for prosecution cases alone,not to mention private and defence work.
Carefree cruelty and smug irresponsibility
ReplyDeletegreat effort for his own luxury and enterprise
