Thomas, Lord Erskine was born January 10th 1750. During his lifetime he became Britain's foremost advocate, through his defence of people accused of treason and corruption.
His defence of Thomas Paine, accused of high treason for his work, The Rights of Man, cost him his position as Attorney General to the Prince of Wales. Later, Erskine totally alienated George IV by defending Queen Caroline against the king's attempt to deprive her of her rights and title.
Rather go into all the boring education, career stuff I will focus more on the man, the character, for I think Lord Erskine was a bit of a character, he had a favourite dog with him at all his consultations in Chambers a favourite a large Newfoundland dog called "Toss". He taught it to sit upon a chair in chambers with his paws placed before him on the table. Erskine would put an open book before him, a wig upon his head and one of his advocate's bands around his neck. What his clients thought of this exhibition we do not know, but it is unlikely that they would have forsaken him for another counsel.
He was obviously an animal lover a dog he kept by him was one he had rescued from some boys in the street when they were about to kill it. Later, on March 2, 1811, he sent a bitch to a fellow peer with a note to say that, "her name is Lucky and may all good luck attend your Lordship".
He also had a pet goose which followed him about in his grounds, a macaw and a great many other dumb friends. He even had two special leeches which he believed had saved his life when he was ill and which he called his "bottle conjurors". These he kept in a glass and, he said, he gave them fresh water every day and had formed a friendship with them. He would often argue the likely result of a case on how they swam or crawled.
Erskine said he was sure they both knew him and were grateful to him. They were called "Home" and "Cline" after two celebrated surgeons with quite different dispositions. He amassed the company at a party given at his villa in Hampstead, near "The Spaniard's Inn", by talking about his regard for animals and, in particular, those to whom he was attached. He then produced the leeches in their glass which he placed upon the table. It was impossible, however, wrote Samuel Romilly who was present, "without the vivacity, the tones, the details, and the gestures of Lord Erskine, to give an adequate idea of this singular scene".
He introduced into the Lords a Bill for the prevention of malicious and wanton cruelty to animals, saying that it was a subject very near to his heart. Disgusting outrages, which he said
"were too painful to describe, were being perpetrated upon animals whilst the law did nothing. This was because animals were considered only as property. They were entirely without protection from cruelty and they had no rights. Yet man's dominion over them was not given by God for their torture but as a moral trust.
Nature had provided the same organs and feelings for enjoyment and happiness to animals as to man -- seeing, hearing, feeling, thinking, the sensations of pain and pleasure, love, anger and sensibility to kindness. Such creatures might have been created for man's use but not for his abuse. Towards them, as in all other things, men's duties and interests were inseparable. Extending humanity to animals would have a most powerful effect on men's moral sense and upon their feelings and sympathies for each other."
When the speech was published as a pamphlet, its editor suggested in the Preface that it should be introduced to families and schools and deserved to be circulated "among the lower classes of society by the clergy, and by all moral and pious persons'.
When the Bill was in its Committee stage, Erskine pointed out that during his 30 years of Parliamentary life he had never before proposed any alteration in the law. He still had no wish, he said, to link a statute with his name; he had a better motive. If the Bill were enacted, it would not only be an honour to the country but would mark an era in the history of the world. In the event, the House of Commons proved not to be ready for animal rights and the Bill was defeated but eventually went through in 1809.
Lastly and briefly, perhaps our Lord Erskine was also a wee bit of a romantic, he survived his first wife, Frances, she passed away in 1805 after 35 years of marriage, on October 12, 1818 he married Sarah Buck in Gretna Green, he was 20 years her senior.
It is said he never missed a day in court and led a very healthy life but in 1823 Erskine set out by sea on a visit to Scotland with one of his sons, hoping to see his brother the Earl of Buchan. But he became ill with a chest infection on the journey and was put ashore at Scarborough.
He managed to travel to the home of his brother Henry's widow in Almondell in West Lothian, where they were joined by the earl. He died at Almondell on 17 November 1823 and was buried in the family burial-place at Uphall in present day West Lothian.

#OTD in 1989 – Belfast solicitor, Patrick Finucane is murdered by Unionist assassins.
Pat Finucane, who acted as solicitor for republican hunger striker, Bobby Sands, was shot dead at his north Belfast home in front of his wife and children. The De Silva report into the brutal murder of Pat Finucane, coupled with the prime minister’s searing confession to parliament, revealed probably the worst atrocity by the British state within UK jurisdiction in recent times. Pat Finucane was…

Ups And Downs, Ebbs And Flows . . .
Here's this week's new post: Ups And Downs, Ebbs And Flows - the pros and cons of a few jobs #writer #WritingCommunity
Sunday 18 June 2023 I’ve mentioned before when I work full-time my creativity goes bye-bye. It recedes somewhere into the back of my mind, occasionally peeking out from behind work brain. Okay, let me be honest, it’s not that creative brain voluntarily goes there; it’s that work brain is loud and obnoxious and takes over everything, so poor creative brain must run and hide lest she gets squashed…

It is indeed that time. Album of the muthafuckin' year time. I've constructed Top 25 my list as follows: I decided to just choose a top album, and everyone else is tied for second place, even though the list is 2-25. Incidentally, these have all been in heavy rotation for the entire time I bought them. I highly recommend all!
Hath - All That Was Promised • What can I say about this album. I found Hath a few years back after their 'Hive' EP release, which is one of my all time faves. 'Of Rot and Ruin' came out in 2019 and surpassed expectations. How in the fuck, then, could they beat that... welp.
We Are Magonia - Triangle Unicode • Dark synth out of France.
Penny Coffin - ΣΚΕΛΕΤΙΚΟ ΣΚΟΤΑΔΙ • Scottish/Greek death metal. Heavy, grungy, beautiful.
Saor - Origins • Scottish melodic/folk black metal? Their catalog is very good.
Tyrannus - Unslayable • Amazing blackened thrash/death out of Scotland. If I were ranking, this album would likely be second spot.
Blackbraid I • One man Indigenous black metal from "USA"
La Armada - Anti-Colonial Vol. 2 • My Dominican punk brothers out of Chicago absolutely kill it.
Danger Mouse & Black Thought - Cheat Codes • Again, damned close to number 2 here as well. One of the most anticipated albums aside from Hath, and they did not disappoint.
Void Witch - Void Witch (EP) • Some awesome grinding death metal out of Austin.
Solicitor - All Debts on Death (EP) • Was sadly unaware of these guys right here in my back yard. Some badass Seattle thrash!
Mad Marge & The Troublemakers - It's a Mad, Mad World • Loved Mad Marge & The Stonebreakers; much the very same rockabilly greatness. Certainly the only band in this entire genre I listen to.
Devil Master - Ecstasies of Never Ending Night • Philly's great blackened death sounds.
Immolation - Act of God • This, their 11th? album is probably their greatest. A proper kick to the teeth.
Aethereus - Leiden • Some whip ass Tacoma techy proggy death metal or something.
OFF! - Free LSD • Obligatory add. OFF! never fail to disappoint. This album is a bit less old school 40-second-blast-songs punk than their previous records, and it's great!
Nechochwen - Kanawha Black • Some more Indigenous American metal outta the mid-Atlantic and nearby states.
Sierra - See Me Now (EP) • Lovely one gal dark wave, also from France.
Lividus - Tetany (EP) • Newer addition, but these ladies shred out of Portland, Oregon.
Tzompantli - Tlazcaltiliztli • Some Californian Mesoamerican Indigenous death doom. Good record, this.
Vermilia - Ruska • Lovely Finnish one gal pagan black metal! Very good catalog!
Temple of Void - Summoning the Slayer • Detroit OSDM. Sounds exactly like what you'd expect from Detroit OSDM. Amazing stuff.
Sol Messiah - GOD CMPLX • Another absolute gem out of the Rhymesayers Entertainment crew. Sol kills it.
Parius - The Signal Heard Throughout Space • This was another highly anticipated record from the Philly prog fellas. Produced by Jamie King (ala BTBAM) and you can hear the similarities. This record is an adventure!
FALSE FIGURE - CASTIGATIONS • Post punk greatness out of Cali. I absolutely love their sounds.
Björk - Fossora • Not much I can say about Björk that hasn't been said.
There it is. Number 1 and Number 2 (x24) albums of 2022. Thanks for @explosionshark for sharing the album art collage maker, which actually had all of these albums covers!

Day 3 Hell’s Heroes merch check. The centerpiece is Bloodstar’s The Fear 7” (with obi strip!). Their debut album cannot come fast enough. Night Cobra made a sawblade shaped patch, which perfectly complements my sawblade-shaped vinyl copy of Dawn of the Serpent. Haunt had a bunch of patches missing from my collection, so I cleaned up good there. After watching Eternal Champion slay I had no choice but to pick up a tape and patch. Finally, I spent my last $5 on a Solicitor patch. . This was such an amazing event. I arrived solo each day, but I was never truly alone once I walked through security. You all are my people, and I have rarely felt so surrounded by so many loving, kind folks. I’m grateful to have met so many of you for the first time, including my battle buddy @kingmetaltommy from Kentucky.
