In this second tome, we hear from our Caped Crusader how media spin creates a false impression of the law and the theme is misinformation in our justice system. This is the follow up to the Secret Barrister's 2018 book Stories of the Law and How It's Broken. Second startling volume from the Caped Crusader PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. In Fake Law, the Secret Barrister debunks the lies and builds an hilarious, alarming and eye-opening defence against the abuse of our law, our rights and our democracy. Thankfully, the Secret Barrister is back to reveal the stupidity, malice and incompetence behind many of the biggest legal stories of recent years. This 'fake law' allows the powerful and the ignorant to corrupt justice without our knowledge - worse, we risk letting them make us complicit.
Our unfamiliarity is dangerous because it makes us vulnerable to media spin, political lies and the kind of misinformation that frequently comes from other loud-mouthed amateurs and those with vested interests. But the law touches every area of our lives: from intimate family matters to the biggest issues in our society. Most of us think the law is only relevant to criminals, if we even think of it at all. Could the courts really order the death of your innocent baby? Was there an illegal immigrant who couldn't be deported because he had a pet cat? Are unelected judges truly enemies of the people?
