Legal career
Blacker volunteered in the office of then-MP Lorna Fitzsimons between 2002 and 2004. Blacker qualified as a solicitor in 2010, and in 2011, registered JAFLAS (Joint Armed Forces Legal Advocacy Service) as a charity. JAFLAS is not related to the UK armed forces. In 2013, the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) wrote to Blacker to tell him to remove the SRA number from JAFLAS notepaper as it was likely to mislead people into thinking that JAFLAS was "an authorised and regulated legal services provider”, when it was not. In 2015, Blacker appeared on the ITV program Parking Wars.
