    Limiting noise at a peaceful protest - whatever next!?😂

    [News] Just Stop Oil

    I don’t think that makes the JSO sentences unduly severe (but then I wasn’t party to the evidence that the judge was) but it equally doesn’t make it right how the last government got away with multiple law breaking or possible/probable law breaking that was never properly pursued or prosecuted...

    [News] Just Stop Oil

    The ‘draconian’ laws do not prevent the right of peaceful protest. However, the actions of JSO, XR and many other groups in recent years have developed a form of protest that causes massive disruption to thousands of people, costs the taxpayer (that’s ordinary citizens not the government)...

    Protesting is not the same as disrupting.

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    In reply to both your and armchairclubber’s posts, I would suggest that you both illustrate the complexity of the Israel/Palestine situation, the fact that that both sides have behaved atrociously and that both sides are deserving of empathy and support (particularly ordinary people) as well as...

    Disappointed that we didn’t finish a 20/20 with an innings win. How mad is that!

    [News] Just Stop Oil

    A judge hears every aspect and minuscule detail of a case. He/she also follows strict licensing guidelines. His/her job is to follow the law, not to make deviations based on a ‘moral view’ which will always be at least partly subjective. If a terrorist bombs a pub and people are killed, a...

    Correct, but for some people it appears that only part of the law applies when it doesn’t suit your cause.

    If the sentences were too lenient for the sex offender that needs to be reviewed/challenged/changed but it doesn’t make the sentences handed out to the JSO wrong

    [Politics] Trump under fire.

    This should be a sobering moment for us in the UK. Our politicians still travel the country without armed security, often using public transport and the most serious threat being a milkshake or egg being thrown. There have been incidents when this freedom has led to tragedy but thankfully they...

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    The future of reform depends on both the Tories and Labour. If Labour can prove to be a competent government and reduce the deep anger in many of our communities and in many people, and if the Tories can move back to the centre right and offer a credible alternative to Labour, then Reform will...

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    I wish that was the case. We had a member of staff that was sacked essentially for incompetence in their role as a book keeper. She won her unfair dismissal claim despite the fact that it was proved she had lied about her qualifications in her CV and at interview. The tribunal ruled it was the...

    [Travel] Tourism Backlash

    According to UBS’s latest Global Wealth Report, some 500,000 millionaires will leave the U.K. by 2028, equivalent to a 17% fall, due to the scrapping of non dom status. Spain and Italy are expected to be the main destinations which is where the bulk of the anti tourist protests are. I wonder...

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    One of the things I liked about Labour’s campaign was the honesty in saying the NHS is ‘broken’ and more money on its own will not fix it. I don’t think Labour have a plan as such which is why they have started a review. At last we have a politician (Streeting) who recognises that the NHS is not...

    [Albion] The gigantic squad - who is leaving?

    I'd get rid of Wieffer - done absolutely nothing so far and would attract a decent fee which we could spend on a defensive midfielder

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    [ That’s a fair point. My assumption, hopefully not flawed, is that Labour are not going to go down that road. If they do, then the chances of them leading a genuine economic recovery are over before they began

    [Travel] Tourism Backlash

    I don’t know how you would do this in practice but a solution could be for everyone to have an allowance of say two ‘climate change tax free’ flights p.a. and any more would attract a significant tax premium.

    [Travel] Tourism Backlash

    Apart from a few extremists, people’s anger in Mallorca is aimed at the government not tourists. People want some controls on numbers but are not anti tourism.There is much talk of wanting to raise the ‘quality’ of tourists and their average spend whilst having some sustainable limits in numbers...
