So David Lammy proposes doing away with Jury trials save for the most serious cases.Yes 'justice delayed is Justice denied'. But what about Magna Carta, I hear noone in the MSM is shouting!

Boris Johnson took four days off as NHS warned Covid could ‘overwhelm’ system Files show then PM was walking dog, riding motorbike and hosting guests as pandemic planning stalled in ‘lost month’

Boris Johnson took 4 days off as NHS warned Covid could ‘overwhelm’ system

Thousands died.

Spent time walking his dog, riding motorcycle, hosting lunches/dinners.

He once said Covid was ‘nature’s way of dealing with old people’, ‘we should let the old people get it’.

Will he be held to account,?

But the profusion of flags wasn't a response to these successes,was it?

When something happens that the nation should really feel proud about eg winning the world cup next year ( or even the Ashes?) We won't notice the difference cos the numpties have put flags on all the posts!

No. That's why I left the Labour Party. I'm waiting to see how the construction of Your Party develops or I might join the Green Party since Zach was elected leader. Whatever,I hope they form a pact to defeat Reform. I'm 72 and live in Devon.

How sparsely populated Norway amassed $1.8 trillion | Fortune Europe Launched in the early 1990s to invest mostly in bonds, the fund has grown to become the largest of its kind by acquiring small equity stakes in thousands of companies across the world.

UK and Norway won nature's lottery in 1970 - found oil/gas in the North Sea.

UK squandered wealth, appeased corporations.

Norway levied 78% tax, took direct stake in companies.

Norway now has $1.8 trillion sovereign fund. UK has public finance crisis.

UK Govts still appeasing corporations/rich.

Winter is come! First 3 Redwings in my backyard. Lovely birds. #Tavistock #backyardbirding #devonbirds

..and which the Tories started using cos they'd let the system become overwhelmed,slashed resources and let the claims for asylum assessment process snarl up, what are the pulls which BBC news trots out without evidence ( eg 10pm BBC news this evening) ?

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social
Where is the evidence that the UK is a more attractive place for asylum seekers to come to than other countries in Europe? Use of English (a colonial legacy) and family connection are surely the 2 strongest 'pulls'. Leaving aside hotels (which are inappropriate for most)..

November 14th 2018. Trevose Head, 1st year female Pied Wheatear. A much longed for rare bird. Thanks to Pete Roseveare and Bob Bosisto for relocating and putting the message out, I managed to get there by 1pm. And I'd just bought a new Canon 100-400 camera lens so an ideal christening.Magic!

@youngb48.bsky.social
If I've heard correctly,you should remove your tag-line 'environmental campaigner' after you voted against the motion to mandate builders to install Swift Bricks'. These are a valid measure to reverse the terrible decline of our iconic summer bird. Ex-RSPB? Shame on you.

Yes. Thanks for replying.

Nothing will change until the political system is freed from the clutches of corporations and the super-rich The law is being used to enforce existing power structures for the benefit of the few

Laws bent for the rich.

Wages taxed at marginal rates of 20% – 45% plus national insurance contributions (NIC).

Capital gains taxed at 18% to 32%, no NIC .

Dividends taxed at 8.75% to 39.35%, no NIC.

Return on wealth must not be taxed at lower rates.

A case for reversing the NI increases at last budget and putting them on income tax, but more progressively?

The 8 Kent offenders sent to jail for more than 100 years.

These are the most common types of faces of sex offenders.

Had to join the party at Gunwalloe,Lizard on Sunday having had a rubbish passerine October. Last saw this species/subspecies in 2014,Burnham Norton. Like that formerly called Bogdanov's. But windy ( my excuse for crap photos). Then to Truro for 2nd time Lesser Legs. Met up Ironfists and Tim P.

So it has begun. A Boat-tailed Grackle lands in Hampshire near Southampton.Clearly ship- assisted. A 1st for the UK. But it's a 3.5 hours drive away. And the weather's not great. Worth going for? Looks a pretty bird. Seen its cousins in Trinidad. Do I wish it to disappear, and decision made? Ho hum!

Winter is almost upon us. My first Siskin (female) on my bird feeders in Tavistock this morning. Just saying.
