I have been alarmed for a while that by and only high status well off students are allowed to do humanities. (They get many of the best jobs). It is the same in the USA. newyorker.com/news/news-desk…
I do not think it is just because I am over seventy that I think a large part of our communal culture has lost touch with the concept of the rule of law. This is a horrible instance suggesting I am right.
Such extremism finds succour in dishonest tabloid fear-mongering that seeks to whip up hatred, fear and misunderstanding of the rule of law and those who uphold it.

Tidying up a load of all cassettes I found an undated recording taken from Radio 3 in a series called the Octave of the Nativity. We were in a cottage near Selkirk. Year of music was 943. I listened on Christmas Day 1987! genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/ca9a5575…

What a pity we repealed the Winter Herding Act in 1987. Otherwise they could have impouned the beast in the showroom.

The Information Commissioner's Office says "Be specific and granular, " when getting consent under the EU General Data Protection Regulation. What on earth does granular mean here? No dictionaries help. If it means "spcific", it is tautologous and a non-transparent neologism!
