Have we had the Extinction Rebellion prison booklet yet:
Make sure you have plenty of good literature. An evil cradling and We are all doing time are great
reads to take with you. Plenty of good tips for yoga and meditation. Make sure you exercise and
use the time well. Structure the space with times for sitting, yoga, breathing exercises,
journaling, creative art (get someone to bring in some material). You can also bring in a player
with some good talks on practice. If you get solitary there's plenty of time for meditation and
facing the demon of solitude, depression, claustrophobia, and at times a sense of the mind going
off on a crazy tangent so it's good to train in advance.
You can request a vegetarian or vegan diet. This can take several days to organise but you can
choose a non-meat option each day. You may have an induction day for people wanting
training. You can take in reading, writing, and art materials and swap books with other activist
inmates. It can take a week or so to get to the prison library so it’s best to take in all the reading
material you may want. And lastly you can take as many naps as you want!
On release you will be given your clothes have to fill in a leaving form.
Of course, there is always the risk of violence in prison, but it is likely to be very low for remand
prisoners who are not in a risk group (eg gang members, mentally ill, sex offenders). Most of the
prison officers are black and do not wish to give you a hard time but simply want to get on with
their jobs. The best rule of thumb is to maintain a low profile and listen to people – there is
plenty to learn from being in this environment. -
You'd think that when one man's incompetence can be measured in the billions of pounds, it might be time to let him go?
So that's billions of pounds that have been filtered from the taxpayer to private enterprise and they'd want to let him go...?

It was Theresa May in 2002 who highlighted the "Nasty Party" label for the Tories. Since then she became Home Secretary and the architect of the hostile environment policies of the Home Office. She has learned that embracing nastiness is the way to rise to the top of the Tory Party cesspool.

And it was Gavin Williamson in the library with the lead piping...

Who will enhance our lethality now?

Farewell Gavin Williamson, too venal for May's cabinet, too evasive for Richard Madeley:
-
If you're too rubbish even to leak something securely, you definitely shouldn't be Defence Secretary. What a scandal. Just another one to add to the constant drip of them. Not that anyone will really take notice for very long.
-
Yes, and the sooner she is removed from any kind of position of responsibility, never to go near one again, the better.
-
Also on Williamson:
But security correspondent Frank Gardner said the BBC had been told that "more than one concerning issue" had been uncovered regarding Mr Williamson during the leak inquiry and not just the Huawei conversation.
-
Obviously, the lack of cabinet discipline, in which the Defence Secretary leaks classified information because he doesn't agree with a decision, goes right back to Theresa May and, of course, 'Brexit' and her utterly inept handling of it, but there are already so many dozens of reasons why she should resign that another teeny-weeny one like this won't matter.
-
The sad truth of modern politics/society, you just have to let Twitter have it at it for 24 hours, and then move onto the next thing and you can carry on like nothing happened.
-
The most concerning issue of Gavin Williamson is how he ended up in the Cabinet in the first place.
-
Of course, Williamson's strenuous denials 'on the lives of his children' may be true and there may be a further twist in the whodunnit ... who knows these days ...
-
... which is a question hanging over just about every Cabinet member ...
-
May's letter is quite astonishing for a letter firing someone--these are normally unfailingly polite and gloss over quite what has happened. This one ... doesn't.

On Rory Stewart's appointment as International Development Secretary:
I’ve spent more than a decade living in funny countries
For a former diplomat, I'm not sure that's very diplomatic.
-
It's a sacking too, rather than a 'I asked you to resign and therefore accepted your resignation' letter in the case of Damien Green.
-
On the lives of his children.

It's always good to bring your children into politics, especially if you need to compare your own fecundity to the barrenness of political colleagues.

It has been public knowledge that Huawei have been compromising infrastructure devices in Europe since 2009. I was briefed on it during a government role in 2010. Huawei said the problems were fixed but I believe that more were found. Nobody seemed concerned.
I'd like to understand why this has only now become a hot topic.
