No Is a Complete Sentence

You do not owe anyone an explanation of why your answer is no. You do not have to justify your limits or apologize for having them. 'No' is not rude. It is not unkind. It is honest — and it is yours to give freely.

Don't say it if you don't mean it.

Mean it when you say it.

Then Stand By It.
Stand With Yourself.

The most important thing, according to Starmer, is not justice itself, but whether pretend justice can be delivered cheap as chips: one magistrate deciding rather than three discussing, stripping the right to trial by jury, so what if a few innocents are criminalised...
