Julie Hudson's Reviews > Bringing Down Goliath: How Good Law Can Topple the Powerful

Bit of a sales pitch for The Good Law Project but thank goodness we have a law organisation at least attempting to hold some of those in power to account and giving legal representation to the everyday people. Because they are funded by small individual donations it is a really people-powered movement.

The legal jargon makes it quite a challenging read and he does sound a little pompous at times but the cases he covers are really interesting - the prorogation of parliament, PPE purchases, Uber to name a few. The hatred and scathing attacks he's been subject to from certain media and political parties are reminiscent of Putin's vindictiveness, without the murder.

The PPE scandal is outrageous and stinks of scandal. £12.5 billion spent and £10 billion wasted. Why did we buy so much of it and overpay for it.

And as for the Brexit vote - I think I either hadn't realised or certainly had forgotten that it was only ever meant to be an advisory referendum and there was no legal requirement to act on it. Completely infuriating.
