He’s more of a fox hunter than a barrister.Jolyon not taking the Supreme Court Judgement wellI don't believe that he spoke to three KC's who said that the case brought by For Women Scotland was inarguable.

Inarguable cases do not go before the Supreme Court.
Jolyon is more activist than lawyer.

I doubt it. The Conservatives' fundamental problems are:-I suspect if the Tories replaced Badenoch with Honest Bobby J. we would see an exponential change between Ref and Con.
Latest MIC leadership polling. Amongst 2024 Tory voters barely a third think Badenoch best PM. Farage next most popular, but surprising support for Starmer too.
- they have hardly any MPs left (about 120; they lost 250 MPs last July)
- Boris purged a lot of the experienced ones
- almost every criticism of Labour at PMQs can be knocked back by Starmer saying the Tories started it (whatever "it" is)

Good prog about Nick Leeson (on now). Thatcher and her gang really do send the shivers down you.Far be it for me to defend "Mrs Fatch", but to be fair to her she didn't attempt a dictatorial coup and she walked when she was told to walk.
The UK's version of the US under Trunmp and co now.

Our son puts his life on the line to save lives at sea in weather you wouldn't believe, and he does it entirely free and that is only because he is part of the RNLI which is highly respected and any normal person would see your comment as utterly distastefulTOTAL VICTORY FOR TERFSOnly for people who never understood the vibe.BREAKING: Supreme Court rules the term sex refers to 'biological women'Another straw in the wind of the vibeshift

Breaking
UK Supreme Court judge Lord Hodge announces that the Equality Act’s definition of a woman is based on biological sex.
He counsels not to see this as a triumph for one side over another and stresses the law still gives trans people protection against discrimination.
(some hope on the last point)
An entirely reasonable and understandable judgment and doesn’t take away from woke at all.
Now we have to bring down the RNLI

I would like to thank last night's bot for having, quite fortuitously, given me a chance to flag up the awesome and subtle pun in the headline.The title of the book is "Тихий Дон" so the correct translation of the title is (The) Quiet Don, with the definite article being implied by context.
"And Quiet Flows the Don" was the title given a literary flourish by the publishers of Stephens' translation because they felt a western audience wouldn't know the Don was river and the title would make no sense. Hence the addition of "Flows".

A proper University, not like those other three of Cambridge, Oxford and Hull.How dare you sir? I was at Aberystwyth not Cambridge.I would like to thank last night's bot for having, quite fortuitously, given me a chance to flag up the awesome and subtle pun in the headline.I see you've been attending the TSE school of punning.
