I have never been to Lincoln Cathedral, but the UK's shortage of earthquake zones does not mean tremors won't happen.

When structures suddenly fail, there may have been some form of trigger event, that was separate to the underlying cause. Earthquake resistance is not deliberately designed into UK buildings, but some have it due to their flexible or massive construction.

Unreinforced brick and stonework relies on its own self weight to hold it together. It is a carefully designed series of linked stacks of brick and stone. Shake it violently enough, it will crack up. Shake it at the correct frequency, and you get a wobble that amplifies the problem. Tacoma Narrows Bridge, and more recently the Millenium Bridge are well known on YouTube.

If so he was doubly foolish or determined to go to prison.

Mad? Bad? Stupid?
Doubly squared, and rounded up for good measure.

Yes there was a suspended sentence loitering. Its intent was clearly set out, with an explanation of how he might trigger it.

Ignorance of the Law is no defence, and can be unfair. Deliberately ignoring the Law, as explained in person by a Judge, in a Court, and confirmed in writing .......

He was nannied by UK Law, at taxpayers expense, to protect him from himself.

Wow.

Did anyone ever explain this to stewgreen, Pcar or Geert Wilders?

I have not met any of them, and I am still not a Lawyer, but it does seem like something that most simple idiots could understand, unless they refused to accept anything they didn't like, and were obsessed with publicity stunts.

As someone who was only just on the BREXIT side of the debate prior to the referendum, I am more pro-BREXIT than I was before, due to the stupid self interest being displayed by the EU itself, and the UK Remain factions within the UK.

Unrestricted immigration and the superior legal status provided to minorities, whilst marginalising the rights, traditions and Law of primitive natives, was never one of the Politically Correct Progressives smarter ideas.

About 15 years ago, I was sat in a meeting with a community that was suffering a local crimewave of mindless vandalism. The Senior Police Officer present explained that people locked away in prison were either Mad, Bad, or Stupid. She added that unfortunately, being "Stupid" was not in itself, grounds for arrest. Tommy Robinson has proved that one assumption made by UK Law, was wrong, although he did have to go to extreme demonstrations of stupidity to prove it, even having to film it, and broadcast himself, live on the internet, for Judges and Law Enforcement to watch at their leisure.

If too many people get locked up for being ignorant about their own stupidity, good decent and proper law-breaking criminals in prison will feel their lifestyle cramped, and privileges restricted. They won't like it all. They hold in contempt those pretending to be ignorant of UK Law.

GolfCharlie when the Romans left our shores, garum vendors in ancient Grimsby stored their fish guts so beginning a long
tradition. It must have been the earthquake that liberated long lost smells and caused a mass meowing of East Anglian felines.

Golf Charlie
As you raised the subject of last night's evens centred on Hull it reminded me of the 12rh century predecessor estimated at about 5.0 which some claim took out part of Lincoln cathedral which others say was down to poor construction.

I don't like getting involved, but for clarification wasn't Tommy R also done for breaching the terms of a suspended sentence imposed for similar transgressions and still active at the time of his latest shinanegans. If so he was doubly foolish or determined to go to prison.

Excellent news.

I don't understand why residents of Hull and Grimsby can't recycle their fish guts into cat food, or supermarket pies.

Or were they trying to create their own organically flavoured unwanted EU food mountain, for some relief, and to perch a locally grown windmill on top?

Thank you for repeating your opinion

I believe TR was specifically charged with not doing or saying things (and warned of the consequences of doing them) and proceeded to do them. Irrespective of what others might or might not have done he deliberately challenged the judge and thus the method of justice practiced in this country. By doing so he challenged us.

GolfCharlie. Thank you for your concern but this seems slightly misplaced. It is the denizens of Hull and Grimsby who are at the epicentre. Perhaps the accumulated remnants of several centuries of kipper guts compacting finally occurred. I think food parcels (not fish) should be sent to South Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire. The British Geological Survey will probably have to announce that Quadrilla are not responsible for the quake with their darstardly fraking.

Supertroll, I am saddened to hear of the devastation that has occurred across East Anglia as a result of last night's devastating earthquake, conclusive proof of unprecedented Global Warming

According to BBC Radio 2, things were so bad, someone's cat miaowed.

What do Norfolk cats do normally?

UEA's musicians and artists can now exploit he Global Warming cash cow, by proving that the average cat's octave range HAS risen with Global Warming, even if they have to trample on many domestic cats to prove it.
