Barely Legal Comedy Podcast

Earlier this month Tom Binns, a comedian whom both Chris and Alex know, admitted in court to five counts of "Making" and one count of "possessing" indecent images of children.

Whar exactly does "Making" indecent images of children mean? What is the case law surrounding this topic? How has the law developed in recent years? What possible defences are there to the charges?

Also, we have new equipment and Chris sounds ok but Alex sounds like he's underwater (lucky he doesn't speak much in this ep).

Just what disingenuous, tiresome, underhanded bollocks are the Home Office up to now?

What is a refugee? When is a terrorist not a terrorist? Is the Home Secretary to blame for a recent terrorist attack which led to a man's death?

Is this Kehoe's final episode before we get in a younger, sexier, woman-ier replacement in? I hope so.

In the meantime he looks at the soup throwing Criminal Damage case from the news this week. What is the charge, what are the possible please and defences and what will the likely penalty be?

Plus,  the also topical discussion around a famous footballer being granted bail. What does this mean?

Kehoe finishes what he started (weeks ago). He did forget his mic though so let's not get too carried away.

Heckler in Scotland arrested as Queen's funeral car passes. Man in London arrested for holding up a blank piece of paper 'In case' he wrote something with an anti-monarchy message on it. 

Are we finally living in a right-wing/ dystopian/ fascist dictatorship? Did tthe above events actually even happen?

Plus, have we, as a Nation, lost our collective minds?

With all the news this week (death of the Monarch, new PM) you may have missed the fatal shooting of Chris Kaba (24) in Streatham Hill London at the hands of the police.

As Chris is a barrister who is attached to the police, he guides us through the relevant laws surrounding the use of lethal force by the police.

Chris talks about his day in court, the upcoming barrister strike and reveals how a discussion with a female police officer in one of his cases leads to us starting a new topic, unlawful act manslaughter.

Just what can you say on stage? Is there a wokeist cabal running the industry? Are right wingers against market forces? Are there actually any leftist comedians anyway? Should comedy be unleashed or leashed or is it all just a cynical marketing ploy?

Plus discussions on Sovereignty, how and when it grew, and how Sovereignty is almost always misrepresented and used against people.

And whilst discussing offensive material, a highly offensive joke about Harry Potter that nobody should ever have to hear is improvised.

A very recent and tragic manslaughter case involving a s.4 (suicide pact) defence from The Homicide Act (1957).

Barrister Chris takes us through the tragic facts and the excellent judgement from Mr Justice Goose. 

It is a horrible case, but the police, the prosecution, the judge and jury all work magnificently to ensure justice is done.

Also, is it time for the law on assisted suicide to be changed?
