At least there’s a place that will happily take her now

That’ll help his client. Not.

OMG 😱😱

I’m absolutely appalled

I don't usually have much time for people reporting tweeters to their employers but it looks like the Law Society will be getting a few complaints about this disgusting message.

Maireas · 16/08/2021 11:05

Good grief!
How is that acceptable?

What the?? Shock

Apparently - not sure if this is true - he posted a screenshot of a BBC News headline showing Ashraf Ghani fleeing of the country with the caption: “Headline should read ‘criminal on the run’.

Disgraceful. I would have assumed someone in his position would have known better.

Are you sure this isn't fake news? Some sort of Photoshopped version being sent around?

go to the SRA's FB page, easy to log a complaint, I just copied and pasted Twitter and his law firms website.

That also looks photoshopped to me too, although it's disgusting if it's not.

OMG

@pollypokcet sorry, I've just seen your link. It is real, in which case that's appalling!

What an odd thing for a presumably well educated and reasonable intelligent man to do. Why would he think this is a funny joke?

I don’t think it really reflects on Shamima Begum though - it’s not her who tweeted it.

If it has been faked then he and his firm need to know asap so they can get it taken down and publicise it's a fake.

I think that's fake news and someone has hacked the account. Surely her lawyer wouldn't be that stupid? I simply don't believe it. But the SRA should probably investigate to confirm.

Leavesofautumn · 16/08/2021 11:35

Actually, I've just had a look through and it does seem like his Twitter account is full of "edgy" Hmm comments.

Given that it was supposedly tweeted last night you'd have thought that he - and his legal firm - would have issued an immediate explanation on every SM platfrom and their website to explain it had nothing to do with him and to make their opposition to the Taliban explicit.
