Left: @RobertBuckland today advising that due to “the govt’s advice on social distancing” he is cancelling his surgery.

Right: Mr Buckland just now telling us that three quarters of Crown Court trials have to continue as normal in our filthy unsanitary courts.
For the uninitiated, this means dozens of jurors drawn from a wide geographical area, squashed in a tiny room for hours on end every day, mingling with court staff who mingle with witnesses and defendants and judges and barristers. In buildings lacking soap and ventilation.
By insisting that short trials proceed as “normal”, @RobertBuckland is ensuring the highest possible turnover of trials, and therefore of people mixing with each other, in the shortest space of time.

Not a shred of an explanation as to how this fits with the government’s advice.

Is... is Mr Motivator giving Coronavirus advice on #r4today?
In centuries to come, archaeologists digging through the embers of our civilisation will happen across this interview and conclude, not without justification, that Mr Motivator was the man who led us out of our darkest hour.
I don’t mean for this to sound cynical, btw. This interview is genuinely motivational. It’s the most uplifting thing I’ve heard in weeks*.

*Mellow Magic FM excepted.

Given the current climate, it remains both inconceivable and all too believable that @HMCTSgovuk are still providing filthy bathrooms devoid of hot water, soap and paper towels for use by the public and legal professionals at our courts.
A court I was at last week had puddles of toilet fluid all over the floor, spreading across all cubicles. The soap dispenser was empty all week. The water was icy cold.

Given that we spend our days in tiny court conference rooms with multiple strangers, this is a disgrace.
Perhaps instead of spending their time briefing the media that they are too tough to consider the early release of low-risk prisoners to tackle the virus spread, the MoJ could focus on making courts fit for human use.

A new thread on nityasūris, perpetually liberated souls in #Vaikuṇṭha-heaven who raise some theological problems (at times similar to the ones raised by #angels). 1/8 #ViśiṣṭādvaitaVedānta #SouthAsianPhilosophy #Vaiṣṇavism #Veṅkaṭanātha #SouthAsianTheology #theology
#Veṅkaṭanātha discusses at length the topic of nityasaṃsārins 'people who permanently remain in saṃsāra' and finally refutes it, because it clashes against God's compassion. The main reason why his opponents still keep on pushing is that if there are no nityasaṃsārins, 2/8
the world is going to eventually be empty (because all souls will have reached God's Vaikuṇṭha) and then there would be no point in having the world at all, which He means as a way for them to enjoy karman and get rid of it. 3/8

About to be unpopular.
Ireland, Thursday, listen up please. Then spread the word, talk to people.
2/ Then there have been a range of actions and activities which seem to be falling below any general 'newsieness' radar on social media and public forums / comments boards ... For instance here's a headline from a few weeks ago in The Sunday Business Post:
3/ "Hub Ireland probed over fundraising activities The charities regulator said that it has “received a concern that The Hub - Ireland appears to be operating as charitable organisation while not registered" By Jack Horgan-Jones
