  • Hate to give excuses for these people.

    But nothing in these quotes would lead to legal proof that blocking traffic was the intent. It just leads to a group of 200 people trying to be noticed and avoiding police kettleing them.

    The 5 Just Stop Oil protesters were shown to have discussed limiting the travel of vehicles. Heck, as dumb as it sounds. The fact they allowed ambulances through, shows blocking other traffic, was an intentional part of the plan.

    Please remember, this is ion no way supposed to indicate I support the actions of these terrorists. Or oppose the actions of just stop oil. It is just a consideration o the actual legal justification in both cases.

    Some other evidence of the intent of the protests to limit the movement of traffic is needed in this case.

    Of course, with police filming and the number of phone vids made. Plus all the social media discussions leading up to the protests. That evidence may well become clear later on. But running onto the road to avoid police officers restricting their movements does not in itself prove a desire to limit traffic flow.









  • I assume the complaint is actually related to attitudes at the time. Greek status etc show nude men and women. Because ancient Greek culture expressed no negativity towards bare breasts or shared nude bathing. So the artwork was never intended to be shocking. Greek Men amd women are known to have often shared public baths naked. And it is believed that women did not overly concern about covering both breasts in public.

    Where as the famous scene of Maralin Monroe was set upmby media to cause shock amd offence. Selling the model as a sexial object to be displayed to men who were not culturally expected to see random famous under garments,



  • It could. But won’t. Because as I say. Parliment has zero actual power over him.

    You make out Zuckerberg was an odd situation.

    But honestly. Name an occasion where the UK parliment has had any power to summon the leaders of a non UK company. Even the US Congress has difficulty unless the company actually wants to be summoned. As we have seen with social media companies sending powerless no bodies to their summons.

    This is exactly what musk would do. And no way the US would help enforce it. Par.iment dose not have any extradition treatiesrelated to the right to MPs questions.








  • Nobody is asking Labour to take the blame

    That was the whole point of my original comment.

    My point was the wording

    Labour’s “fiscal hole”.

    In the article we are commenting on. Is trying to do that exactly. There is no other reason to word it that way. The hole exists. Applying a possessive to the term to the government announcing it is entirely to try and remove it from the previse government.

    It is an openly biased choice of wording.

    It is quoted to indicate it is a questionable fact. And applied to labours possession to imply labour are trying to use the lie to increase spending.


  • I’ll add. Salination of the river is likely a greater risk. But still small.

    As rivers tend to have flow from high land too low. As they enter the ocean. The positive flow (current) prevents the brine area going to far into land.

    Because canals tend to only move water with navigation. At each lock there is less, preventing salt water mixing further up where the canal joins the river.

    Of course this is to some extent expected and modern canals can limit it. Simply by providing a current from the river going through weirs at each lock.

    Exactly as navigational canals used to move water do.
