1/23 Sorry, this will be long... There is a lot of shouting about what happened in the Channel yesterday. So I want to go back to basic law. Not immigration policies or political rhetoric. At sea, the starting point is simple: Preservation of life comes first under all maritime conventions.

Paid for diesel with cash for the first time in ages earlier. Managed to stop the pump at £19.99, had a £20 note. Abs buzzing. The lass said she'd add the penny onto the next person's change as I strode out. Best litre of diesel ever.

Today about 100 people took part in a mass trespass in the Prime Minister’s constituency. There’s a right to roam over just 1% of Makerfield, & today the landowner proved our point for us: putting up fencing & calling the police. @andyburnham.bsky.social - please open the door to the countryside!

Disgusted with the manipulation of the assisted dying bill in the wretched lords, followed by today's commons stitch up. That my local MP opposed it too is an extra kick in the teeth. Shameful. www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

How did your MP vote on the reintroduced assisted dying bill?
MPs today voted not to approve the assisted dying bill at its second reading. The bill, which was brought back to the Commons after being blocked in the Lords, would have allowed terminally ill people...

So if you dress in black and threaten violence the police let you do your thing and finish at your leisure. Better to avoid creating the risk of confrontation and with it a threat to public order. Hard to imagine any problems with this policy.
