You wouldn't have a jury in any case at a civil matter would you? This is an argument against jury trials if anything? If you'd had a jury you might have lost!

The company I worked for carried out studies on this, we made recommendations to reduce stops in some cases. A bus stop may be put in place on a street because a factory building existed there that no longer exists for example, bus stops can be abtrarily located on occasions.

We were in Woolworths in Grays, one of the two town big shops back then, Marks and Sparks were next door. The lights went out mid afternoon, everyone groaned, then all the ancient gas mantles flickered and came alight. Woolies still had those in place and obvs working. Everyone cheered.

Anatomy of a Vanishing Review Why did Gutter magazine remove a Book of the Month review of Afterlife?

Scottish poetry culture has learned nothing from the hounding of Jenny Lindsay.
Polly Clark is a wonderful poet, and a fine novelist. Profohndly depressing that a publicly funded (by Creative Scotland) journal will not publish a positive review for the wrongthink of the reviewed author.

Seems to work in parts of europe where none jury trials take place. I suspect if one is white juries are preferable, it makes me shudder to think of the injustices that must have taken place in the past with a PoC colour appearing in the dock before a jury made up of lots of white folk.

in favour of drivers so should also be removed. The magistrate ignored the recommendation of the foreman (who in my opinion should have been removed). I'd much rather legal professionals decided my fate than a bunch of folk off the street with all their petty prejudices and greivances.

A person I know attended jury service & arrived on a bicycle, the foreman of the jury attempted to have them removed. The foreman felt they may be biased toward a cyclist in a case, the juror who arrived by bike pointed out that the rest of the jury were drivers (as was he) and likely to be biased

Pretty sure that people at Porton Down really do (or did) give a fuck about what he said about JRM

Blood bikes are amazing, they carry blood to victims of road traffic collisions sometimes, cycle lanes are known to reduce the likelihood of RTC's. Are blood bikers so blind they cannot see a conflict here, reducing road safety provision to promote the blood bike scheme?

Erm...I do understand that, that's why I find him and his questioning style creepy.

Odd that you can't seem to understand that.

If Britain needs anything it's more rail capacity, this cancellation is a disaster and will shape and ultimately inhibit the UK's sustainable economy for generations.

Felicity, I only watched a few of his shows and found him creepy, his choice of subjects was clearly carefully selected to suit his personal metrics.

They were building these in Burntisland at BiFab until about ten years ago when the plant closed, bloody shame.

That post goes on to say 'nothing like the 70s', but the 70's would not have happened without the 60s, which would not have happened without the 50s...
