divorce

Hi A friend is getting divorced from her husband. They have a shared email address. Her solicitor told her to communicate with them using a different email address which she has done throughout the process – which is now approaching a conclusion. However, earlier today the solicitor (or a trainee at the practice) emailed the joint account with a long post revealing a lot of sensitive information regarding her salary, the fact he could pay less maintenance than he was offering, issues to do with his pensions etc – basically all the info they’d put together, breakdowns, possible outcomes etc, everything that could be taken to mediation – all now shared with him. She’s understandably a bit miffed by this to say the least. Any advice as to what her next steps should be?

…continues with the frankly laughable claim that Italy’s prosecco sales would be dented if the country failed to cut a favourable Brexit deal for the UK. And while he may well have intended this as simply an example of the problems Brexit will cause all EU countries, it still marks a further low point of British, „Daily Fail clickbait headline“ diplomacy towards Europe. But this isn’t some „Fuck you!“ tabloid editor, this is the British Foreign Minister, the face of Britain abroad – dear God, whatever happened to „keeping up appearances“ and „national pride“?

The most sensible thing I’ve heard in the past few days comes from Michael Gove (yeah, I know, who’d a thunk it) who simply raises the question whether a ‘quickie divorce’ between the UK and EU might not be the best idea, and burn the fewest bridges.
