GeoffreyBH's Blog, published by Geoffrey Beresford Hartwell, explores legal and philosophical issues related to constitutional law, human rights, and the implications of political events such as Brexit. The blog discusses the legal limits and societal impacts of marriage laws, including same-sex marriage, and examines the ethical and legal responsibilities associated with emerging technologies like artificial intelligence.

No, it isn’t. This is not a Note of Proposed Findings; it’s a note about the Note. I’d better call it the NPF hereinafter. It’s probably not best to have finished the last sentence with a preposition – if preposition…
