And that's fair. But it's likely you'll see increasing numbers of outlets for decent online journalism go dark

To be honest, I'm not sure that the police are actually massive fans of this stupid law.

It's the CPS that may think twice about the prospect of prosecution, and the police are going to be pretty loathe to arrest if prosecutions are unsuccessful,

That’s really not how it works. If there’s little prospect of prosecution they simply aren’t going to bother with the time expense and resources to arrest.

The expense is part of their regular operational budget.

Which is limited

I disagree. I doubt you or I or anyone else will remember their names. If the judge hadn't named them, however, the British (social and perhaps tabloid) media would have become obsessed with discovering their identities.

It doesn’t have to be apolitical- it’s how about the discussion is conducted and not immediately thinking a person who disagrees with you is evil incarnate. Very tough to moderate though, and requires participants to really be behind the ethos, I guess

Having visited Longash wood, it is a pretty special place. Will be good to see this kind of habitat restored

Semantically, if you are planting a wood on the known site of an ancient wood, you are restoring an ancient wood. Though of course, it won’t be ancient woodland.

From Merriam Webster:

  1. Give back, return
  2. to put or bring back into existence or use
  3. to bring back to or put back into a former or original state
  4. to put again in possession of something

Sounds like meanings 2 or 3 pretty much hit the nail on the head

Yeh, you are still deep in semantics. To make it clear - when England "restored" the monarchy it didn't exhume Charles II and put him on the throne.

What is being restored here as far as possible restores the mixture of planting found in ancient wood land, on the site of ancient woodland. No-one is saying that the trees will be equivalent to 1,000 old trees, but yes the mixture and diversity of plantsbeing introduced will indeed attempt to mimic the diversity found in very old woods.

A useful resourcem if you are interested https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/protecting-trees-and-woods/ancient-woodland-restoration/

I was going to say the same about the 15 minute doze while driving, but add that the same works at work for me. There will
Be times when I am reading the same paragraph 4 times and I will know it is time for me to book a meeting room for 30 minutes.

Lie on the floor, set an alarm for 15 minutes, out like a light. Very restorative.

Absolutely no idea, the part I've watched so far really good. I think I was busily downvoting a bunch of spam that day and I fat-fingered it. Apologies. Swapped out for an upvote.
