That is amazing. Boris always said that PPE was a degree for thickos, but he hated Cameron. I have extensive family connections in Leeds teaching circles. At Roundhay Grammar she had a rep for being none too bright but a hard grafter.

It’s just an extension of the de minimis principle viz reasonable.

Presumably Mary Juanna is ok.

US not covering itself with glory here. They need to sort out a decent policy that protects innocent lives but they seem to be shilly—shallying. Israel is running amok.

I wouldn’t call it an exception. It is the de minimis rule in action. I agree it is not always clear at what point it reaches the level of assault. Evidence, evidence, such an awkward necessity, but superior to defining the offence to the minutest detail.

I watch the major athletics finals. Nothing else.

Yes, but if such abuse reaches assault proportions, it is already a crime. Messaging is not the role of the criminal law and creating specific offences is so often just that.

The Bastards. I have reminded myself of a true tale told by a comic, forget which one. Comic at his local station: “I was looking for one of those pocket timetables you used to put on the counter.” Ticket Clerk: “Yes, we had to take them off the counter, because people kept taking them.” Comic...

Thanks for the tip re Jolly Bean. Mrs KS is a coffee aficionado so my next present is sorted. We visit Salts Mill regularly, so we can pick up beans while we are there. Incidently, I had no idea about their tie up with Salt brewery; now that’s my bag. If you are ever in the area, visit the...

We never smacked our children. It is primitive and wrong. Nevertheless, the idea that it should be a crime is bonkers. How do you enforce it? Will there be different grades of smacking? And so on. This proposal is part of modern government ignorance about the role of criminal law. Using it to...

Nurse, nurse, he’s got out again.

Frankly, I think it is just that she is stupid.

PEP out or C’est la vie, take your pick. Disappointed of course but we are still in two competitions at the business end. We are in transition as a side and are not as good as we were last year having lost some very good players. The future looks good with some excellent young players who will...

Take no notice of them, they know nothing and just make it up as they go along.

I’m not arguing in bad faith, the time limit of the bar has nothing to do with the point I was making which you still haven’t spotted even tho you have read it in the Act. Stop being a complete prick.

A small point. The retain and transfer system meant that a player contract was FOR LIFE and gave the power to grant a transfer or not to the club. The Preston side you mentioned contained Tom Finney who was offered a fortune by an Italian club, I forget which. The Preston chairman said no and...

You clearly do not understand how the law works. Have you read the Arbitration Act? If not, I suggest you do.

3 detentions for you, m’lad.

Ms Truss in her Trumpian book calls for the abolition of the judicial appointments committee, because the judiciary has been overrun by wokism. YCNMIU.

Trumps twitter ban has been rescinded but he declines to go on there.
