On the ground

A new high point for fans of “on the ground”:

Lord Greaves: In places where there is no [coastal] access at all, the route will have to be physically created on the ground.

As opposed to those free-floating coastal paths we hear so much about? Actually, I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if that turned out to have been a Lib Dem manifesto comitment at some point.

Were you there yesterday when they were talking about the Sri Lanka demonstration? It may have been that the clips used on Today In Parliament were out of context, but it made it seem like the Lords were basically saying that because their journeys in had been slightly affected, that law and order has broken down in this place.

Wait, you mean that is a false syllogism?
