Worth taking a good look at the Crime and Policing Bill currently in the Lords. The warnings direct action activists overstepping the mark will drive legislation that fucks up the rights of everybody while turning the place into a version of North Korea have long since fallen on deaf ears...

Known as ‘Mountbottom’ according to someone on X

Something still isn’t adding up, the tenancy can’t go ahead without the licence. The agency could’ve offered to do it for her (for a fee of course) or simply advised her (/him/them) it’s required, but the agent still can’t process the tenancy agreement and allow the tenants in without the...

Looks like she’s used an agent so I’d say the onus is on them and she should be ok on the SL front. The emails under review are from her other half so with him and the agent involved there’s a bit of distance between her and the ramifications. That’s assuming there’s nothing else murky going...

Rayner, Farage and Reeves. I’ve given an opinion on all of those cases based purely on the facts as best I understand them. Their backgrounds, gender etc are an irrelevance. I’ll happily debate the points but not doing so and letting the awkwardness of some difficult truths leak out in...

Might surprise you but I want to give her a pass on this one. There’s not much to see in terms of the error itself, but the damage is in what it might say about her perceived competence (or lack of), and of course when a law is broken someone in her position is in real trouble. As for the...

Difficulty is events like the bin man Wayne Broadhurst being stabbed to death in broad daylight while walking his dog by an Afghan man who arrived in the U.K. in the back of a lorry who’s since been granted leave to remain, being graphically shown to the world all over the internet, drives...

I tend to struggle a bit when the clocks change and it’s dark by 5.30 but am making a concerted effort to try and observe and appreciate the things that pass you by when your head is down. Had a nice little moment today where it was good to just stop and take things in, must do more of that.

Can remember driving in France when all cars had yellow headlights. Several reasons for that of course but one was they were supposed to reduce dazzle. Always thought they were pretty cool but tbf was at a time when driving abroad felt pretty exotic. Seems pretty odd though that the law is...

Even if we’d have nicked that hard to see that the psychological uplift would’ve got anywhere near bridging the quality deficiencies.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

Pretty depressing. Nothing more to offer against this lot than Hugo wanging it into the mixer and hoping for the best.

Took me a moment but bravo Sir 👏

It’s not for me to find solutions, I’m not fighting anyone, I’m done with all that. It’s up to whoever is effectively ‘losing’ to assess their methods and strategies. I’ve given the reasons why I think we are where we are and why it’s only going to get worse. If you think you’re ‘winning’ so...

Was doing some work on a flat in Brum last week and got me self a Tesco meal deal to see me through. About to unlock the door and realised I’d left the drink in the car downstairs, so put the food by the front door and nipped down quickly to grab the drink. Got back 2 or 3 minutes later to find...
