That's cyclists for you, had she been in a Range Rover she'd be completely unscathed.

Pubs with a whole row of bar stools so you cannot even get to the bar to order without leaning between two people.

Courts aren't just operating during the times the justices are sitting (typically 10-1 & 2:15-4:30). Magistrates arrive between 9 and 9:30. They will need to read the court list to see if they need to recuse themselves or swap courts. There will be a pre-court briefing from the legal advisor...

On a related note, what was that advertising agency (or somesuch) that did a christmas picture with loads of films, pop groups etc ? Got it ! iFour

It's Russia being Billy Big Bollocks. A swift response would take them down a peg.

Curing addiction is far more successful in preventing re-offending than sending addicts to prison for "minor" crimes. Unfortunately we have had populist ministers for the last 14 years who say what people want to hear and that's mostly "lock them up". We need to have a grown up debate about...

I suffer from several allergies, including pollen, dogs/cats, mould spores and dust (more specifically it's the dust mite's faeces). It affects me by making my nasal passages swell up and produce copious amounts of mucus. I take cetirizine every day which helps a bit with mild exposure but if I...

Knowing little of these things, is there a point at which the Russian economy suddenly collapses or is it a slow, inevitable decline ?

Simple answer, in a criminal case the burden of proof has to be "beyond reasonable doubt". In a civil case it's "on the balance of probability". Beyond reasonable doubt means you must be sure he did it. Balance of probability means you think he probably did.

I think you misunderstand me. If a judge or bench impose a sentence (having used the guidelines), the fact that there is pressure on prison/probation services isn't their problem. Any departure from the guidelines has to be "in the interests of justice". The fact that the government has...
