We are witnessing an assault here and the police must investigate. The protester has a right to heckle, whether you or I agree or disagree with the views or approve or disapprove of the tactic. But it is against the law to physically attack people.

When extinction rebellion activists climbed bridges to block traffic they got three years in jail. I hope the ringleaders of this attempt to intimidate people & trash our infrastructure are met with similar results #dover bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy8z…

Dolly Parton. A bubbling brook. The effortless, mellifluous voice. The writer. The musician. The woman who could unfailingly make you feel good, while with sleight of hand she undid you. Ah, Dolly. How wonderful it must have been to know with certainty you were that good. R.I.P

If this is accurate reporting of this clear and sensible framework, shame there’s nothing on students- feels like a missed opp. Safer future births depends on expert and confident next generation. And they are fresh eyes and ears on the safety and quality of today’s provision.
