Yep, trap it in something dark and move it, longer it goes on the more stressful and for animals like this stress can literally kill. That’s why it seemed docile, crippled by stress and fear. If you can’t trap, put a plank down soo it has a path out and just leave it alone to climb out.

That’s not Trust, it’s a stress response basically crippling it. Stress like this in animals can be very dangerous, even lethal. Hope the little critter was ok. Best option would of been to trap it in something dark and move it or a plank for it to get out.

Had a little look at why…This stems back to the break-in to a military base and vandalising some planes with paint… A very obvious dumb move has had the rule book thrown back in response. Letter of the law, maybe, but not sure it’s the same spirit.. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There are laws that class extremist groups as hate groups/dangerous/criminal/terrorist activity and being associated or supporting is then illegal. I’d be curious to know the rationale here if this is real. Normally follows violence/organising violence and/or risk to UK population (like EDL)

There is also a lack of understanding around EDI, it’s not taught well/widely enough. i’ve seen it many times where there’s an overshoot and actual merit can get lost in the attempt. We are by no means experts and the approach to EDI variety hugely between different companies/employers.

Arguably it also still exists, even if a tribunal would find an employer guilty, you have to pay up front for them so many never pursue. Countless businesses still have nepotistic or discriminatory approaches to employment and promotion, it’s often hard to prove/evidence.

It is no longer policy, and hasn’t been for quite some time, plus the equalities act widened protections and put a more explicit line through discriminatory practices, but we have had them historically.

This isn’t true. Public sector had affirmative action policies a couple of decades back. Policing is a classic example of it, where application and hiring policies advanced ethnic minority groups in an attempt to address major under representation of other ethnic groups in the Police Force

It’s a serving suggestion/recipe recommendation.

Oh but you do! You’re missing the applewood smoked cheddar, cornish crackler and wensleydale. In fact, i’m seriously concerned about the cheddar situation in general!

That’s just basic decency, isn’t it?

It’s a comment on Nancys “birthday dinner” And generally speaking, if you take someone out for a birthday, or for anything really where it’s for them (celebration etc) If they are the reason, you’d include their tastes/needs in making that choice.

If everyone was already going, and you’re vegetarian. And it’s a restaurant that’s as friendly to vegetarians as a fart in an elevator is friendly to the people in the elevator with you Then I would argue they are not taking you out for your birthday. You were the after thought, not the reason.

If it helps, it’s not real french bread, so it’s fine to skip the romancing. Try skipping the wine and cheese on a real french stick and you’ll get slapped.

It’s a garbage article. It’s based on a study exploring possibly outcomes if other forces are introduced to alter their current orbits, this is not something that’s actually happening.
