  1. I think there are more pertinent cases where justice seems unequal.
  2. Therein lies the different interpretations that judges sometimes make from each other. As I look at that, no straight couple would ask for a gay's marriage cake, which makes the point moot. Seems a case of splitting hairs, when clearly the cake maker is only acting in the same way as the b&b owner by virtue of their religious belief. Moreover, in this instance, if the business owners are Hindu, then they could perhaps claim they are being discriminated against because their religious belief is different from that of the building owner. As the tennant is from a protected characteristic, are they not being decriminated against, especially as the landlord has openly said it's on religious grounds? Similarly, as atheism is also a protected characteristic, then the same applies. There are also innumerable off-licensed shops run my muslim people, which suggests that the claim that alcohol doesn't sit with their beliefs is somewhat selective in its application. It's a mine field, and it would be interesting to see it tested. From a wider perspective, it's a dark day when religious belief can be used in such a way. There would be outcry if a domestic tennant was served notice to leave by virtue of having a different religious belief to that of the landlord.
  3. I know. Religion is also a protected characteristic though, so it was interesting to see which way the case fell. Apart from a place of worship, it seems odd that religious belief can force a business to close- seems somewhat contrary to us being a secular state. Parking that for a moment, why did the company buy the building knowing that an business of that type was using it? A deliberate act, with religious undertones perhaps? Hopefully they can get relocated quickly.
  4. There was a case a while back where a guy couple sued a b&b for not allowing them to stay at their gaff. The owners said their decision was based on religious grounds. The owners lost.
  5. 😁 Started watching electric classic cars. A former petrol head car bod, who is now a complete convert to EVs. He addresses this very point on one of his YouTube videos. Agrees that the "V8 modor" sound is a bit of a loss, but explains that the benefits far outweigh that. Showed a couple of retrofitted vw campers he'd done too. From barely being able to climb a hill with their original, low power engines, to flying up them at high velocity.
  6. Best keep those arms sales to Israel going as well. BAE systems increased their employment numbers by 10% between 2020 and 2022. Amazing what a war on your doorstep does. Have a gander at the relatively new company created as a joint venture between them and Rheinmettal. All sorts of tie-ups and mutual defence agreements created at the moment. Just a shame that SKS had to be dragged to 2.5% by Trump's sabre rattling.
  7. Or delay the election until the numbers were clearly down. It's almost as if Sunak didn't actually believe in sending folk back...
  8. Chemical. Been trialling it at a prison already. Many countries do it, and there are shown benefits. Just requires a law change to make it compulsory rather than voluntary. Makes sense; I just smile at the though of lefty lawyers making another packet at the expense of the taxpayer citing human rights and the ECHR sticking their oar in. Other nations seem to be able to tell ECHR to do one, whereas we collapse as judges make perverse rulings. All that said, for for it Justice Secretary- hope you can sort it.
  9. Get it retrofitted with a couple of beastly electric motors. Faster, better to drive, and you won't have to live in those 40 degree temperatures in Summer. Include V2L switch and you can plug in a fridge for all your tinnies and chablis whilst out entertaining your good lady and friends. No brainer.
  10. Castrating Paedos. Whatever next? Wonder what the ECHR might make of it.
  11. Cracking is that. Did you use air con too? I find it obviously reduces range a bit, but nowhere near as much as the heater does in winter. Van has a standard heater too, whereas many newer ev cars now have heat pumps that save a lot of power.
  12. The Guardian in a one sided, unbalanced view of conflict? Well I never!
  13. What battery size is it? Enjoy coming back down SDR and seeing the range going back up!
  14. Nice one. I'm hoping to start knocking off the sertraline in a while. Since they got the epilepsy medication nailed, I've felt tonnes better. Just got other stuff to get rid of first, then hopefully, the ssri. All in good time.
