That's true enough. Though we've seen less high profile peaceful protests having people lifted for seemingly nothing, though as you say, they're still getting media coverage they wouldn't of back in the day. I still believe strongly that peaceful protest is a fundamental right in a functioning...

It wasn't down to political conviction, I just needed somewhere to show off my 14 hole ox blood docs with yellow laces! I went on ANL marches and counter protests to NF marches, but I think you knew what I was saying!

40 years ago I was going on marches, I've got to say I don't think it was worse than this. ANL/NF marches often turned violent and lead to arrests but I don't recall people getting arrested just for turning up!

At least someone's happy with the police state we're walking in to.

Talking of Ted Lasso, watched the latest episode last night, it said Richmond be villa 3-0 but there was no footage, anyone got a link to the goals?

Hopefully he proves to be a great owner but it takes time to determine if that's the case.

Well in the case of the energy companies, tax them, and tax them hard! Crack down on tax fraud, not the mealy mouth gesture the government claim to be clamping down on, go after them hard! I'm sure there's lots of ways that people a lot cleverer than me could come up if the will was really there.

If you can over pay, even 20 or 30 quid a month, do it, you'll reap the benefits. Of course easier said than done in the current climate.
