#ALS/CAPITA failed to provide an interpreter for a trial in Alton today. Wonder who's footing the bill? Us taxpayers of course! #MOJFWA

@Geoffrey_M_B you'll like this, there were no FRENCH interpreters available at Court on Saturday, so, did it myself. Must learn Polish next!

@Lipspeakers @guardian @sundeepbhatia2 The whole interpreter issue is a disgrace. The MoJ should admit that civil servants got it wrong.

@talkrussian_ @rpsi_lounge ACPO doesn't even mention #MOJFWA any more, nor NPIA, previously staunch advocates. More worried about Winsor???

@mrhodga Not using #ALSCAPITA #MOJFWA then? Sigh of relief (thinking of customers) :)

Diana, would rather eat my own kidneys than get involved in the #ALS MOJ contract - I have standards! ;-)

For those who don't know, many interpreters are boycotting the new contractor. They're now busily compiling evidence of its many screw-ups.
Lynn Cox @Lagsmags 2 Jul
First 2 cases can't go ahead because no interpreter available. #notgood

2 defendants answer police bail today @ 1st hearing. Still no Lithuanian interpreter @ 12 noon. Stop delaying justice. text:

Adjourned for 2 days for the court to ask Capita for a Lithuanian interpreter. 'Stop, delaying justice'. (Atrib. Paris Paraskos)

Interpreter for 2 Vietnamese cannabis growing cases booked for 10am has still not turned up at court. Agency told him 2pm.
Steven Jonas @S_Jonas 22 Jun
ALS unable to provide a Czech interpreter. Court retains non-ALS interpreter to avoid remand in custody.
CourtReporter @RobMiddleton23 20 Jun
Somali interpreter booked for Anab Mohamed, 36, has not turned up. Accused of arson
CourtReporter @RobMiddleton23 20 Jun
2nd case today where the interpreter has failed to turn up.
Gwen maddison @LateFines 20 Jun
@Toomsy well if you need someone sooner, I can get you an interpretive dancer. It's almost the same thing.
Darren Neal @Toomsy
@LateFines that would probably work. Can they bring a puppet?? Court needs more puppets!!
Steven Jonas @S_Jonas 19 Jun
Client in custody needs Slovak interpreter. None available. Liberty of the subject? Who cares?
