Four New Square pupil reprimanded by BSB after drug arrest

Unbelievable, I didn't realise the Bar accepted criminals into it's ranks. Just goes to show, it's not what you are or what you do, it's who you are related to and what School/College you went to. Sad day for the bar really to see a clearly intelligent man make a choice to indulge in a criminal activity. His choice shows a complete disregard for the law and values Barristers are supposed to uphold. How his actions have not barred him holding the position of barrister and get away with it is frankly beyond me. Smacks of elitism/nepotism of the worst kind. It begs the question had he come from a comprehensive and not Eton and Oxbridge and his father was not a judge would he have been treated with the utmost leniency? I fear the answer is no.
