Just over a year ago,my little mate Daisy was hit by a car, I thought I'd lost her.
Thanks to the amazing staff at Vets4Pets on Birley Moor Road, she pulled through. She's blind in one eye and a bit nervous around traffic, but otherwise OK. Here she is on our recent Cornish trip

After de-culverting of the Sheaf (at the Castle site) temporary supports have kept the walls braced.
A new image has been revealed, showing the permanent fix, which gives the continued structural support, but with a more natural aesthetic #Sheffield

I'd suggest 100's of them will be arrested over the coming days, weeks and months. Quite rightly too, the PA folks openly said they were told what to write by the organisers, when to hold the sign up and to sit there until nicked. Far different than throwing a punch or bottle then running away.

There's a police line , 1 deep, with opposing demonstrations either side trying to get at each other. So you suggestion is that the officers start making arrests and taking themselves out of the line.
That's a bit different than Street bailing Majorie to attend her local nick.

If said Grandma in a wheelchair, quite deliberately and publicly commits an offence under the Terrorism Act, she knows and welcomes the outcome. That's the MO, orchestrate huge 'I'm Spartacus' moments.
They could demonstrate their support for Palestine in a 100 more effective and practical ways.

Demolition of Shambles Slaughter House, right, Lady's Bridge Hotel and Exchange Brewery, in background. Rather grimly The Shambles were built there to allow the blood and offal to be dropped into the Don. #Sheffield

Eyre Street from Furnival Street, including (left) Blyde and Co. Ltd., Wallace Steel Works, steel manufacturers. Gives an idea of the original width of the road.
It became a horrible dual carriageway which needed subways and footbridges to cross, thankfully much better these days #Sheffield
