Yes, which clashes with the pressure to use it to save time.

Somehow they're not tired of crimes against humanity, and want to do a Gaza on Lebanon. I guess it's like 'well, if we're going to The Hague anyway may as well stack that docket'

like i can tell them what the teacher wants to hear about these poems, but that is infinitely less interesting than how it made you feel or what it made you think about

The reason so many were pushed/forced back into in-office work was to maintain commercial property rental viability

The reason so many small shopfront businesses are closing is due to commercial property rental prices

everyone's favorite warcriming Lich King: "when crazy people have nuclear weapons, bad things happen"

Those journalists depend on access to parliament for their jobs

So Ministers "remonstrating" with them is a big deal - effectively threatening their livelihood
