Good to see this story on BBC News. Deserves a wider audience.
Sadly, ‘basic land law’ and ‘dealing with vexatious litigation’ are life skills that few people have. When faced with an attack on their homes, most people are terrified.
Which is the whole point!

"Check your privilege" should come back as a phrase but this time specifically reserved for people who think it's infra dig to take up arms against an aggressive and invading force.

Infra dig : "being beneath one's dignity"
I still struggle with shortened Latin in English.
But indeed, I would like for the people who are both-siding Ukraine and Russia (Or Palestine and Israel, or...) to swap place with the invaded.

I honestly wouldn’t put it past her to say “the blacks”.
I sometimes criticise left leaning commentators who respond to the conviction of some grooming gangs by “what about the white rapists”. But this is the same - men from every race, religion and social class abuse women and children.

If the other side thinks they hold all the cards, are immune from sanction and/or are hell bent on crushing you, there is no space for negotiation. This can happen in civil disputes too. The trick is being able to spot it. manchestermill.co.uk/meet-the-lon...
