The Sunday Times published a pretty good article today, written by Ben Spencer, Science Editor, presenting opposing views (grouse moor gamekeeper vs RSPB Senior Policy Officer for the Uplands) on setting the moorlands alight. Jono Simmonds, 36, a gamekeeper who manages 3,000 acres of grousemoor at Stalybridge, said: “We’re getting pushed into a corner. Tom Aspinall, 40, senior policy officer for uplands at the RSPB, which has managed Dove Stone since 2011, is convinced there is no need for managed burning. That process is well under way on Dove Stone. On Dove Stone moor work is under way to reverse that.

The vast majority of those detained Saturday were arrested for displaying placards declaring their support for the banned group, known as Palestine Action. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, who oversees law enforcement in Britain, rejected that characterization, saying Palestine Action was outlawed after committing serious attacks involving violence, significant injuries and extensive criminal damage.

In April I wrote to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) explaining what information was required in the logbook. I called the DVLA and was promised a return call that didn’t materialise. Yet it was incredibly frustrating that red tape, and false promises from the DVLA, had stalled your efforts. Yet three months down the line you were still waiting, despite the DVLA assuring you that your case had been prioritised. It is the manufacturer that gives the DVLA this information, but when the vehicle was registered in 2003 this was missing.

Apparently, it got to the point where Sweeney “exhibited such discomfort about being there for the 50 minutes … that it verged on annoyance”, per Agnew’s account. “I was thrilled — until I realised it was a reflection of her keenness to leave rather than her enthusiasm to arrive,” Agnew wrote. “None of it’s real,” Sweeney told Agnew of the scores of headlines she’s made in recent times.
