I’m quite a fan of podcasts (I go walking in London’s parks with them) and am a great admirer of those bloggers who produce them – notably Charon QC – so I’m well chuffed to be his guest on today’s Charon podcast, his 34th.

He asked me about working as a http://www.gooakley.com/ lawyer for the government, but we also talked about Europe and the Reform Treaty, Jacqui Smith’s 42 days plan, the government’s constitutional reform agenda, YL v Birmingham and my objections to “human rightsism”, and the recent Countryside Alliance case. I won’t give everything away, though: it’s a good, fun discussion, and I’d urge you to listen!
