When Pedantry Misses Subtlety: Why Justice Demands a 360-Degree View By Liz Lucy Robillard & Ai In law, pedantry can be a curse. The obsession with procedural precision, semantics, or so-called “objective standards” often misses the humanity behind a case — its emotional, social, psychological, and moral dimensions. Nowhere is this more evident than in cases where rigid adherence to precedent or statutory wording has led to catastrophic injustice. This post explores how legal pedantry has failed people across jurisdictions, why true justice requires nuance, and how the mediation movement — led by experts like the UK's Paul Sandford — offers a more future-focused, humane path. I. When Legal Pedantry Fails: Case Studies 1. UK: R v Jogee [2016] UKSC 8 Issue: Joint enterprise doctrine punished people for crimes they did not commit directly. Result: Supreme Court overturned decades of flawed precedent. Why it matters: For years, courts rigidly applied faulty logic. Only later did th...

 My emetophobia- since age about 4- saved me from drinking too much or taking illicit drugs (which I always hated vehemently due to my brothers suffering from them) - I liked a few drinks quite a lot- as I liked to enjoy life a bit, and as much as poss- being the eternal optimist or "Polyanna" as described by one Tamara- cheers-and despite valium/benzo dependency- until about 13 years ago.  Agoraphobia and trauma from abuse by a violent ex and abuse from family court systems- and negligent doctors- still affect me and I am attempting- really hard- to recover.  Today I wrote about why Lucy Letby has to be released  https://medium.com/@lizlucy1958/when-behaviour-is-misread-lucy-letbys-conviction-is-unsafe-evidently-64b1d6c99dce Liz Lucy Robillard 10/97/25

 The Tyranny of Style: Why Real Art Must Be Free I’m do not like being advised to pick styles in art.  As if art were a fashion line. As if creative freedom should wear a uniform. Real expression resists the cage.  The insistence on one visual language, one tone, one aesthetic—this is commerce, not creation.  It's branding masquerading as identity. "I am for an art that is political-erotical-mystical, that does something other than sit on its ass in a museum." – Claes Oldenburg The greatest artists moved through styles like weather systems. They changed because they had to. Because the inner truth kept morphing, and they followed it, unafraid.  Picasso didn’t stay in the Blue Period just because it sold.  "Art is not a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it." – Bertolt Brecht Singular style is tidy. And tidy is death to the wild root of art. To limit an artist to one form is to gag them. Gagging in any form is anti Art (and anti Brit...

 Carrie Johnson (née Symonds), wife of former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, has been actively involved in animal welfare, environmental causes which is certainly very impressive and commendable- she has also been socially active- her motivation must be partly due to her father- founder of The Independent newspaper- and a tad at least from grandad-Labour MEP John Beavan.  She has also been credited (or blamed) with influencing the political direction of her husband’s policies—particularly pushing for more progressive stances on the environment and LGBTQ+ rights, can't be bad. In media circles, she’s occasionally framed as a behind-the-scenes force for “political correctness” though- especially in the Tory party, with some critics accusing her of softening or sanitising Boris's previously brash libertarian tone. Which is a deep shame for British (and other countries) libertarians.  From a classical libertarian viewpoint, which values individual freedom, minimal state int...

 In order to sell your apps and tech - you need promote original, lived experience and libertarian values- as thems your buyers and your original content- please use more common sense in apps though. I would pay a reasonable and fair price for simplicity! We don't all think linear math style. More apps for the technically challenged would sell, nearly everyone I know would be a customer.            Happy to help if I can!   lizlucyrobillard.crd.co

I saw a bitch psychologist claiming to be a forensic person - still pushing the old chesnut that is FII- a mostly discredited, false allegation that served only to fill the lack of medical expertise to explain various child illnesses and disabilities. These people are narrow minded, blinkered and desperately nasty.   Professor of Social Work Andy Bilson has called for change, read here  https://www.lancashire.ac.uk/news/fii-serious-case-review I saw another psychologist selling her wares advising colleagues to "keep it cute" When Psychologists Fail: The Hidden Cruelty in Clinical Culture my prompting 'They say psychology is a healing profession. But too often, it masks a rotten underbelly—where arrogance, performance, and cruelty are passed off as insight. I’ve seen it. You’ve seen it. The casual language—“keep it cute,” they joke to each other, while discussing human beings in distress. The subtle smirks when mothers are accused of Fabricated or Induced Illness (FII), be...

 Charles Spencer- A Brave and True Hero On an Old Blog Called 'Mother 4 Justice' Years ago, on a blog I ran called Mother 4 Justice, I uploaded a short video. It wasn’t glossy or rehearsed—it was raw, real, and it mattered. In it, I asked young men—public schoolboys, Eton types, I mentioned the Bullingdon Club—to take a stand. I wanted them to speak, plainly and on camera, against child sexual abuse. Why them? Because they were the ones so often shielded by institutions. Because private schools and elite clubs carry both power and silence. Because some of them would inherit platforms, or already had them, and I believed some might use that power to help break the great taboo. What triggered me at the time was something subtle, yet chilling. In the film Four Weddings and a Funeral, there's a character—charming, eccentric, a bit of comic relief—who casually remarks that he was "buggered senseless" at school. It’s tossed in like a joke. The audience is meant to laugh...
