Asbestos – Research Paper 99/81 05/10/99 – Donna Gore & Alex Sleator, Science and Environment Section, House of Commons Library
https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/RP99-81/RP99-81.pdf
On the first anniversary of The Great Return March and Land Day it’s appropriate to pay tribute to the tens of thousands of non-violent protesters who have been campaigning for what they believe is justice. I respect people who protest by marching, waving flags or even dancing when literally being under attack by tear gas or artillery fire:

So many legal and ethical issues arise out of the Palestine- Israel conflict including:
• Who should control the area where that the west refer to as Israel?
• Is Israel a legitimate state?
• To what extent should a country’s borders be able to change over time? Just because a particular plot of land initially belonged to country A does it mean that that plot should always belong to country A?
• Can an apartheid state ever be legitimate?
• Can a country who routinely murders and injures civilians, medics and journalists ever be legitimate?
• How should prisoners (including child prisoners) be treated?
• Are sanctions that cause so much hardship to civilians ever legitimate?
• What’s the role of arms manufacturers in the conflict?
• What should the UN do when it’s resolutions are ignored?
• What should other countries do to deal with the impact of “Friends of Israel”?
• Why do so many confuse criticism of Israel with being anti-semetic?
• Why is there so little coverage of the way that Palestinians are treated by mainstream media?
• What should be done to combat terrorism?
• To what extent is violent protest justifiable?
• Is BDS legitimate?
These and other issues maybe addressed in a blog on this site at a future date. In the meantime, listen to some Lowkey who was performing at The Ritz, Manchester at the Stampede Festival in July 2018:

An excellent blog in the Civil Litigation Brief by G Exall – the lesson is that if contributory negligence is pleaded against the Claimant, see if any of the allegations can be used against the Defendant:

In the “Practice Advice Service question if the week…” section of a recent the Law Society Gazette the following question was asked:
“I am a solicitor and have just started work in a busy high street practice. I regularly swear oaths and take declarations. My new firm wants me to account to them for all the oath fees received. In my previous firms, I have always been allowed to keep oath fees. Are the partners of the firm entitled to the oath fees?”
The following response was given:
“There are no rules or specific guidance on this. It is a matter for the partners of the firm to decide and for you to negotiate, if you can. There is limited information about VAT payable on such fees.
If the oath fees are retained by you personally, they are not subject to VAT unless you are registered or liable to register for VAT as a result of the aggregate of your personal taxable supplies. If you are required to account to your firm for oath fees received, then these fees should be dealt with as part of the firm’s taxable turnover.
or further information on oaths, please see the Law Society publication, Execution of Documents (3rd edition) which is available from the Law Society’s online bookshop at https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/bookshop
For further information please contact the PAS helpline on 020 7320 5675 or email practiceadvice@lawsocitty.org.uk”
MESSY (@MesoYorkshire) 02/03/2019, 10:40 Great question yesterday asking why Mesothelioma usually develops in only 1 lung. Had to go back to the the first National Meso audit from 2014 as laterality data doesn’t seem to feature in latest 2 audit reports.
