Having a hefty dose of Plantar fasciitis it's tricky to work out which hurts more...

In my office they have the radio on, I don't know what station it is, but they play this song at least twice a day that goes "..where the hell is my husband" in the chorus. Utter rubbish it is.

Back in the mists of time I was a helicopter engineer in the RN. Then 20 years in an office. I’m now in the logistics department of a private company that operates ex military helicopters and more modern civilian helicopters. You’d think it would be easy, but trying to source some parts such as bolts, seals etc is a real PITA. And the price is eye watering for some of it. £3 odd for one Cherrymax rivet and they only sell them by the 100.

The jury not nailing the activists who broke into that Bristol business. Ridiculous

I used to work for a company that made parts for the MOD, the motor trade and private companies.
I did the estimating and then together with the MD we decided on the final price, MOD stuff alwaya had a very big mark up.

On the other side of my job I was also responsible for buying. The difference between a sheet of steel for MOD work and private work was also enormous. A good 3rd of our stores was taken up by bonded stock for the MOD work that would never get used once a contract was completed.

Innocent until proven guilty I’m afraid.

With all the footage, it beggars belief that a simple guilty verdict wasn’t returned in about 10 minutes. I suspect that members of the jury agreed with what they did and based their decision on that and not the law.

Or, unlike anyone here, they listened to 2 months of evidence and persuasive arguments about the application of the law then deliberated for 36 hours and weren’t all able to agree.
I’d want to see and hear everything they saw and heard before I pilloried them, rather than basing my judgement on snippets I’d read in a newspaper or seen on TV.

The tv footage of an activist hitting a policeman in the back with a sledgehammer didn’t look good.
CPS are going to appeal let’s see the outcome of that.

So you agree with a copper getting hit with a sledgehammer and those responsible getting off? Interesting.

Not in the slightest and a million miles from what I said.
Extremists at either end of the spectrum disgust me. Doubly so when they use violence.
Look elsewhere for your argument.

Not looking for a row Rich, just curious how you can defend them in that instance when there's clear evidence.

That jury saw and heard 2 months of evidence that none of us have seen or heard.
They were subjected to persuasive arguments by barristers and KCs that we didn’t hear.
They would have been given complex instructions, to which we aren’t party, to follow on how to apply the law to their decisions on each defendant.
Then they deliberated and argued with each other for 36 hours before being unable to agree.
There’s going to be a retrial for some of it, I think.
It’s not the jury’s fault.
Unless you thought I was defending the defendants, which I absolutely did not.
