@afneil Yep, such was the establishment support for these changes that people were even reluctant to tell online pollsters how much they opposed them - took the anonymity of a voting booth

@Tez21red @carley_joseph7 She cackled each mention of inadequate evidence that led to her client getting away with time served. She displayed zero sympathy or concern for the child.. It’s similar to her behaviour when she disparaged her husband’s victims, including the one he settled before Court.

@Frank_Mortimer @afneil It’s the French threatening the trade war. To give licences to boats that don’t have a record of fishing these waters would break the agreement. Evidence is simple for those that qualify. It isn’t about generations, it’s about having fished there for more than 10 days in 3 years.
