What on Earth are you supposed to replace status quo with? It has a meaning far beyond the literal...

I think 7/10. But certainly 6/10

The NL have an additional issue (I travel to Eindhoven a lot): their supreme court basically halted all building permits unless there is a nitrogen mitigation.

So, they have some sort of ultra-NIMBY issue.

Thing is, the Met has been systematically dire for decades. This isn't some new phenomenon.

Yet there seems to be exactly no political will to do an iota about it.

The Lord President has put down the necessary motion for an all-night sitting on Monday

Oh this will be fun. In order, where have I lived...

Croesyceiliog, Wales (yes it is a real place)
Durham
Exeter
Melbourne
Exeter, again
Rochester, NY
Croesyceiliog, again
Ely (not the Cardiff one)

Not very OTT, but a very erratic set all the same.

40 p, plus NI plus student loans, neither of which I can be bothered to calculate and are also irrelvant for this argument anyway.

Well, this is an improvement!

(clearer text too, clearly they listened to Legal Style Blog !)

Or maybe being identifiably Jewish in the presence of these marches is provocative because they’re full of antisemites? Just a thought

We absolutely reject this narrative from @MetPoliceUK. It is appalling, abject victim blaming.

The Met’s statement should be immediately retracted.

Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has sent Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist to blame us for putting a “dent in the confidence of many

Can the Metropolitan Police be JRed for this bonkers, anti-semitic nonsense?

Everything else can be so it seems only fair?

I have a rule that I don't join protest marches. Nor do I sign petitions

I think, alas, I'm away for work on the 27th. But if I'm not, Marcus Walker (who alerted me to this) bring the Processional Cross and we will join our brothers.

And bite our thumbs at the Met.

Oooops

(for legal reasons, that is my whole opinion. I gave you an extra o as recompense)
