  • Nah I think they just got a judge who gives a shit about humanity…

    The Section of the Public Order Act 1986 lays out rules for how police can control “public assemblies” – defined as a gathering of two or more people in a public place.

    Police officers can issue them if they “reasonably believe” that the protest “may result in serious public disorder, serious damage to property or serious disruption to the life of the community”.

    It can also do so if it belives the purpose of the organisers is to “intimidate others”.

    What surprised me was this is the older legislation. I thought they would use the newer anti protest legislation which even legislates against a protest being too noisy.











  • Firstly know you are not alone, lots of people feel like this. I suggest a hobby which includes exercise and meeting people. Exercise releases endorphins and generally energises you. Meeting people helps bring you out of yourself and focus on something else. I do gym classes as it means I am around people but don’t have to interact too much. It’s the same people so I say hi and maybe chit chat a little. A gym buddy is good if you can find one, we never liked to bail on each other so used to go quite regularly. Swimming always makes me happy and my cat! (She likes to paddle but not really what I meant!)


  • These workers are highly experienced professionals in critical industries and have been chronically underpaid for over a decade(s). Many have risked their lives and health and that of their families during the pandemic. Bringing in agency staff will not solve the labour issue in these areas but make it much worse. Already we have lost so many dedicated professionals in these areas the services are on their knees. As a society we need these services to keep us healthy, safe and educate our next generation. As one of the richest countries in the world we can afford it if we want to and we will be much poorer in all ways if we don’t.
