That’s because you have a moral backbone Sean unlike these invertebrates.

Hereditary peers are a lazy scapegoat for what is essentially a failure of government policy. No lawyers I have spoken to (including trade unionists) think day-one unfair dismissal is sensible or workable, whatever union general secretaries might say in public. Six months would work.

By that logic, I could sell photocopies of copyright works, and argue that it’s the buyer’s fault for placing the order. 🤷‍♂️

Reintroducing fees would be likely to act as a barrier to justice unless they are so low as to be barely worth the expense of administering a system for collecting them and assessing exemptions for those unable to pay. They would also disincentivise employers reaching pre-action settlements.

Also the sick feeling in my stomach, having ended up catching a bus from Kings Cross due to tube shutdown, to later see images of a bombed out bus.

And I had forgotten about the walking home part. I didn’t have to walk to Cambridge but I did walk from Southwark to Tottenham Hale to get a train. Remember it taking forever and being rather warm.

Remember getting off late running train from Cambridge to King’s Cross, discovering tube closed, later pondering which tube I would have been on if train had been on time.

(in so far as is reasonably practicable)

My position is on all fours with my learned friend Matt.

Standing on shakey ground he is.

Don’t forget to puncture holes in the lid with a searing hot fork. Apparently missing this step is where most people go wrong.

I’m choosing to ignore my feelings of inadequacy over your first post because your second reassured me I’m in good company.

It hardly needs saying, but the sighing was one very small part of the overall picture in this case which was largely a dispute about time off, performance reviews and reasonable adjustments for ADHD.

I haven’t read the decision, but what I think this is getting at, in a roundabout way, is that the Equality Act 2010 in some circumstances prohibits discrimination by political parties against members but the courts should not add further constraints beyond what parliament has legislated for.

I think my brexit freedoms must have fallen out of my hand luggage while I was queuing at passport control in Calais, because I can’t find them now either. Also I spoke French to a shopkeeper on holiday so I’m probably cancelled now anyway.

Oof

Absolutely love Gillian Welch. I keep coming back to her music. Truly music for the soul.

I just repeatedly ask them for the name of the person they want to speak to until they eventually hang up.

In consequence of which, I wish you all reasonable prospects of success for your festive proceedings conducted in accordance with the overriding objective and in a manner which is neither scandalous nor vexatious.
