Visible inconvenience and suffering. One example will be the new regulations coming in on 1st January where UK citizens will need a visa to travel to Europe. The Costa del Jamon crowd are already getting angry about not being able to stay more than 90 days in their summer homes; I'm getting the feeling that the Tories would like to not appear responsible for them needing to ask permission just to go there.

The Europeans are entirely responsible for that though :argh:

Looks like Rayner got Nandy's "shadow leveling up" role which, while I know it is, doesn't sound like a real thing.

According to a study of 24 countries, Britons are less likely than people from elsewhere to place importance on work. Increasingly, they also no longer believe that hard work brings a better life.

I was recently introduced to the concept of "galbestos" which is like, steel with asbestos mixed in during the galvanization process.

Which mostly seems to result in steel which rusts underneath the galvanized layer and also the layer then flakes off in big lumps and also it's full of asbestos, lmao.

All the problems of failed encasing as a method of rustproofing and also the encasing is a respiratory hazard, brilliant work industry, 10/10 product.

Maybe they should try mixing some uranium in there as well.

Saying that jurors can decide things is actually perverting the course of justice :lol:

quote:

The 12 have received letters from the Metropolitan police’s specialist public order unit that state: “You have recently been identified as taking part in an incident outside the Inner London crown court … whereby you were seated outside of the court and held a placard with the words; ‘The right of juries – to give their verdict according to their convictions’, in a place where both witnesses and jurors attending trials … could not avoid seeing them.”

The letter went on: “This may amount to an offence under the common law of attempting to pervert the course of justice.”

The government said its plan would:
- Review guidance on 20mph speed limits in England, to prevent their use in "areas where it's not appropriate"
- "Amend guidance" on LTNs "to focus on local consent", and weigh public support for those already introduced
- Stop councils implementing "15-minute cities", where essential amenities are always within a 15-minute walk

UK has led the way, with countries across the continent making mass arrests, passing draconian new laws and labelling activists as eco-terrorists.

Michel Forst, the UN rapporteur on environmental defenders since June last year, described the situation in the UK as “terrifying”. He added that other countries were “looking at the UK examples with a view to passing similar laws in their own countries, which will have a devastating effect for Europe”.
