A suburb of Damascus, once home to 115,000 descendants of Palestinian refugees, now largely depopulated and destroyed.

it was my understanding ‘hunters’ typically killed animals that would otherwise be killed by the rangers themselves. If there are two elephant bulls vying for the same cows. Or there is an old bull who is no longer effectively mating and holding up the birth rate of the herd. Etc etc.

But that was a product of the times and we are more fortunate.

You can quickly get to a situation where you’re wagering vast sums of money to try to win a very small amount; ultimately you run the risk of reaching a point where you simply can’t afford to place the bet, or, more likely, you’ll reach the max stake for the table and be unable to win your money back.

Though a touch disconcerting the day before.

Are there any basic principles about cooking curries with tomatoes, slow-cooked meat and yoghurt that I should go with?

Generally – not always, but usually – don’t use yoghurt if you’re using tomatoes, they tend not to play well together.

But for a weekday, slow-cooked curry don’t bother with spices and similar malarkey. Get a jar of…[Read more]

That’s not to say the system isn’t under-resourced and creaking, but when you have that information and don’t disclose it, it points more to negligence to me.

From the first case, it seems evidence of innocence wasn’t updated on the file. Looks like mistakes were made because people were too busy.

@sam that isn’t really the issue; it is just as possible that the evidence never existed in the first place (presumably there are many cases where it doesn’t). Evidence, sufficient to secure a conviction, s…[Read more]

This is totally a resources issue.

It can’t be entirely that. In each of these cases, the CPS felt that they had enough evidence for there to be a reasonable chance of a prosecution, meaning that they felt the accused would be more likely than not convicted based on what they would present. In one case was there actually was a conviction.
