In an Orwellian twist and having made no arrests the police called the thugs' gathering as 'spontaneous' and said there had been no violence. How can hundreds of sub-70 IQ neo_-Nazis in uniform be described as spontaneous or non-violent? These are terrorists www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm...

I hope we're going to see many charges for incitement to racial hatred, incitement to violence and incitement to riot, all of which have been happening blatantly and prolifically on social media. Or will two-tier policing in the UK, favouring the right and the far right, prevail yet again?

On the BBC they are describing these events as unrest or protest. They clearly don't want to upset the far-right agitators who have incited these thugs to create terror. It is terrorism. Not protest. Not unease. Not concern. Terror directed at minorities. BBC News - www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cr...

A duress day. Some freeholders demand a waiver of claims as part of the process of providing information to long leaseholders remortgaging or selling. In my view this is probably illegitimate duress. The law on duress is complex My forthcoming article on management packs tackles the issue in detail.
