Today's enforced and pre-planned trip to the JC was like an obstacle course (as expected) but you know, I've been doing this for a long time, yes the fixed election. You may think these powers are not needed as (thanks to Sanook) Starmer has it in the bag. That may be so but it is here in Scotland, where I believe they will be used against the SNP. First before I left, council guys with strimmers outside my front window, then in order to avoid the 'fitmeup' cctv camera and the faceless people watching on their TV monitors, I go through Morrisons car park. The bad news is there is a short single file lane exit with railings each side and you sometimes have to wait until it clears. Today they had a youth on a bike bending over and padlocking his bike against the railing, blocking about three quarters of the path and (as no cctv) they had a witness standing at the top and at the bottom of the lane. I just stood 30 yards back with my arms folded and waited until the blockage cleared.
