    And got roundly criticised by the Bar Council for her actions undertaken in the role.

  • The perfect is the enemy of the good. If people are going to use -- and some are -- harm reduction seems like a no-brainer.

    Yes, it would be great if people weren't shooting up at all... but you can't quit if you're dead.

  • London apartment block that deviates from plans must be torn down, says council

    Jump

  • Well

    only one in 10 council planning departments are fully staffed, with 13% operating with fewer than three-quarters of posts filled

    with

    80% [of local authorities] reporting they did not have enough officers to carry out their workload

    because

    long-term cuts to funding have had a visible impact on planning departments’ ability to retain staff... there has been a 43% fall in resources to the planning system from local authorities since 2009-10.

  • A fun game of spot the difference, but apparently there's more going on that you can't see -- eg the planned underground carpark just not being built at all, and them building a carpark over the garden instead.

    Reddit is letting a public figure harass me with impunity because I outed his company for fraud

  • Then stop disseminating this information online. For now.

    You say you're taking legal action. Hand all of this to your lawyer, and follow your lawyer's advice. I am very confident they will advise you to stop posting this in a public forum.

    In the meantime, I strongly urge you to talk to a trusted family member, friend, or medical professional. It sounds like you are highly stressed. In the short term, forget any perceived public health emergency. Take care of your own health first.

  • Maybe not. Ample time to make an independent judgement whether to downvote.

    OP, if you suspect financial crimes are being committed, you should not be tipping off those involved by publicising this.

  • These accounts somehow were able to fully understand an incredibly complex story in less than 10 minutes

    What is easily understandable, in far less than 10 minutes, is that a) this is incredibly hard to follow, and b) your mass-posting this everywhere does not comes across well.

    If, as you allude to, you have retained legal counsel, I urge you to ask them if posting this all over the place and getting into internet bunfights is likely to impact your case... and I also urge you to follow their advice when they advise you to stop.

  • Russell Brand: Woman says star exposed himself to her then laughed about it on Radio 2 show

    Jump

  • Following the investigation by The Sunday Times, The Times and Channel 4's Dispatches programme into Brand's alleged behaviour, published earlier this month, Olivia says she tracked down a recording of the programme.

    The episode, which aired on 21 June, 2008, features this exchange between Brand and Matt Morgan.

    This exchange on The Russell Brand Show was recorded minutes after the incident

    Morgan: It's been 25 minutes since he showed his willy to a lady.

    Brand: (Laughing) Very easy to judge! Very easy to judge!

    Morgan: The receptionist…

    Brand: (Laughing) Look…

    Morgan: Receive this!

    Morgan adds: "He got told off for ringing a bell, minutes later he's showing his willy." Brand can be heard laughing in the background.

    Olivia, who has never worked as a receptionist, says she felt disgusted when she heard it.
