    Owing to the restricted replies, some correspondents replied to older (unconnected) tweets. The admin of this account "hid" those replies. The petitioner in the UKSC case sent one such reply and this too was hidden. On reflection this was hasty on our part and we apologise. 4/5

    We posted a link to Norrie's blog post from this account on Friday 9 May. Given the topic, we decided to restrict replies to that tweet. The content of Norrie's post and/or the restricted replies led to much commentary, and on Sunday we deleted that tweet. 3/5

    Thanks for the endorsement, Roddy. At @lawstrath, we have a great reverence for facts.
    There is no place for snobbery in education. Especially when it is so obviously misguided. @lawstrath has a deserved reputation as an excellent law school. Several other Strathclyde Uni departments are literally world leading. So @DuncanGraham70 tells me, and I believe him!
